As he polled 1,343 votes to defeat his co-contestant, Dennis Alonge-Niyi, who got 369 votes.Until his election as the new party chairman, Adams was the immediate PDP Vice Chairman in the state.

Tola Alabere won the election with 1395 votes to emerge as deputy chairman of the party while Barrister Olujimi Oluseye clinched the secretary position with 1385 votes.

All the new executive members swore to the oath of office as well as allegiance, just as Adams pledged to reconcile all the aggrieved parties within the PDP at the state level in order to bring together new and old PDP members together in the interest of the party.

Hon. Agboola Ajayi, the Deputy Governor of the state, who had just joined the party, and the second runner up in the  primary election of the party shunned the congress.
