The Ekiti state chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has suspended Sen. Babafemi Ojudu and 10 others for allegedly flouting directive of the party’s national executive council, NEC.
A statement by the state party’s spokesperson Mr Ade Ajayi made available to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, named the other suspended members to include, Mr Ayo Ajibade, Mr Oyetunde Ojo, Mr Femi Adeleye, Chief Akin Akomolafe and Bunmi Ogunleye.
Others are, Bamigboye Adegoroye, Dr Wole Oluyede, Mr Olusoga Owoeye, Mr Dele Afolabi and Toyin Oluwasola.
According to the statement, the suspension was part of the recommendations of a Disciplinary Committee, which investigated alleged disobedience of some party members to NEC on June 25.
Newsdiaryonline reports Ojudu in a statement as threatening that the party crumble in Ekiti, if they were expelled.
“We are calling our national leadership to stop Dr Kayode Fayemi from killing our party in Ekiti. Things are bad enough now for the party in the state.
“Allowing him to carry out our expulsion will only spell doom for our beloved APC,” the affected members spokesman, Mr Bamgboye Adegoroye said.
He alleged that Fayemi decided to clip their wings, because they exhibited bravery and stood up against poor governance and government of exclusion being experienced in Ekiti.
Adegoroye further said, ” We however, insist we shall under no circumstance leave the party to join another.
“We were members of the party from foundation and also members of defunct Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), a legacy party that joined with others to form APC.”
