Ekiti APC Goes For The Jugular; To Discipline Ojudu, Tinubu’s Son-In-Law |The Source

By Ayodele Oni

The All Progressives Congress, (APC), in Ekiti state, is set to suspend some of its members for their continued flagrant disobedience to party rules.

To be affected are the Special Adviser on Political Matters to President Muhammadu Buhari, Senator Babafemi Ojudu, Oyetunde Ojo, who is a son-in-law to APC National leader, Bola Tinubu.

Others are Femi Adeleye, Bunmi Ogunleye, Akin Akomolafe, Bamigboye Adegoroye, Wole Oluyede, Olusoga Owoeye, Dele Afolabi, Toyin Oluwasola, Engr Ayo Ajibade and Ben Oguntuase.

Already, they have been summoned to appear before an eight-member Disciplinary Committee set up by the party to look into their case.

Recall that those listed for suspension are in Court to challenge the process of emergence of the Executive members from the ward to state.

They insisted that there was no election, and that the officers were handpicked by Governor Kayode Fayemi.

They were given just ten days to show appearance.

Addressing Journalists in Ado Ekiti on Tuesday, a member of the disciplinary panel, and APC’s Director of Media and Publicity, Sam Oluwalana, explained that the aggrieved leaders refused to withdraw their case, despite the directive given by the National Caretaker Committee  of the party, in July

According to him, the party has no option than to invoke article 21 of the APC’s constitution by way of commencement of suspension procedure against them.

Governor Fayemi has been having a running battle with most of them, especially, Senator Ojodu. They accuse him of running a-one-man show after they had collectively helped him win his election.

Former Governor Segun Oni left the point, and went back to the PDP, from where he came from.
