Ten ‘recalcitrant’ members of the All Progressives Congress, (APC) in Ekiti state were, on Thursday, slammed with  suspension.

The suspension, announced by the Publicity Secretary of the party, Ade Ajayi, followed the recommendation of the Committee set up by the party to look into their activities.

Affected members had turned down invitation by the Committee to appear,  saying that it was a kangaroo one.

Despite their non appearance, the Committee, sat and turned in its report to the Executive Committee of the APC in the state on Wednesday.

Those suspended include Special Adviser to the President, Babafemi Ojudu; son-in-law to Senator Bola Tinubu, Oyetunde Ojo; former governorship aspirant, Dr Wole Oluyede; Ayo Ajibade; and Femi Adeleye.

Also suspended were Chief Akin Akomolafe; Bamigboye Adegoroye; Olusoga Owoeye; Dele Afolabi; Toyin Oluwasola and Bunmi Ogunleye.

A letter by the state APC publicity scribe reads that:

“The suspension is based on the recommendation of the investigative/disciplinary committee inaugurated by the SEC to investigate the disobedience of certain party members to the National Executive Committee (NEC) of 25th of June 2020, which directed members of the party not to institute any court action and to withdraw existing cases in court.”

It is not known yet what steps they would take, but a source close to the group said they might head to Court, an action, this magazine has, also, been told could earn than an expulsion from the party.
