Secara berterus-terang Adnan berkata, beliau tudak setuju dengan kenyataan-kenyataan yang mahu mengongkong agar jawatan Presiden dan Timbalan Presiden tidak dipertandingkan. Biarlah ia terbuka, tambahnya lagi.

Kenyataan Adnan ini jelas mencerminkan kematangan beliau sebagai pemimpin yang mahu melihat UMNO terus hidup dan disokong oleh rakyat. Ini kerana dengan menunjukkan UMNO sentiasa bersifat terbuka merupakan salah satu tarikan umum terhadap parti itu....
