Ajadi speaks on his core values
He explained that his core values aligned with the NNPP's principles of transparency, inclusivity and service. He explained that he will leave the party if the principles are compromised or the NNPP goes astray from its ideals.
He said:
"As of today, I remain a committed member of the NNPP. The party gave me a platform to advocate for youth participation, job creation, and responsible governance. My core values of transparency, inclusivity, and service align with the principles upon which the NNPP was founded.
"Unless those principles are compromised or the party strays from its ideals, I have no intention of defecting. I believe in building strong institutions, not just personalities or convenient platforms."

"My ambition is not just about contesting elections; it is about impacting lives. Yes, I contested in 2023 to offer a credible alternative in Ogun State. The experience deepened my resolve to serve. As for 2027, I am consulting widely.
"If the people want me and I see a clear path to transformative leadership, I will not hesitate to offer myself again for service. But for now, I am focused on building capacity, mentoring youth, and strengthening our democratic values. My supporters should stay hopeful—I’m still very much in the game."
