The Ekiti state deputy chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olu Adebayo, has said that no senior member of the party has been suspended in recent time.
He made this statement in Ado-Ekiti Tuesday to deny some reports being circulated on social media that some members of the party in Ado local government, including the local government party chairman, Dare Olomofe were suspended by the State Working Committee (SWC).
He also said no committee was set up by the SWC to review its previous actions.
Olu Adebayo, otherwise known as Osoro said : “The state chairman, Chief Gboyega Oguntuwase is presently in Abuja where he attended the 88th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party held Monday, and he is not yet back in Ekiti state as at today.”
He said as the deputy chairman of PDP in Ekiti state, the party constitution (2017 as amended) unequivocally empowered him to summon, preside and act in the SWC meetings of the party, and he was not in Ado Ekiti Monday, as such, no SWC meeting was held.
He said; “I woke up this morning, Tuesday, January 28, 2020, to read on several social media platforms the story about suspension of some members of the PDP in Ekiti state, more precisely in Ado local government.
“The general public should please note that the State Working Committee (SWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (Ekiti State) did not call nor take such decision being circulated on social media.
“For avoidance of doubt, our chairman is presently in Abuja to attend the 88th NEC meeting of the party held Monday January 27, 2020 and he is not yet back to Ekiti state.”
