Ogun: PDP suspends chairman Bayo Dayo



The Ogun state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Monday announced the suspension of its Chairman, Mr. Bayo Dayo, for allegedly involving in anti-party activities.
The PDP faction, loyal to the party’s gubernatorial candidate in 2019 election, Senator Buruji Kashamu, through its a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Oyejide Sunkanmi, said Dayo was suspended at a meeting of the State Working Committee (SWC) held on Thursday, March 26.
The party had in February suspended its state Secretary, Semiu Sodipo, for also involving in anti-party activities.
The party said the suspension of the embattled chairman would last for one month in the first instance, adding that the State deputy chairman, Samson Bamgbose, would henceforth be the Chairman in acting capacity.
The party Publicity Secretary, said the SWC had resolved to send its complaints of anti-party activities against Dayo to the National Executive Committee of the party for disciplinary measures to be considered.
The statement reads, “At a meeting of the Ogun State Working Committee (OGSWC) of the PDP held at the State PDP Headquarters in Abeokuta on the 26th of March, 2020, attended by officers listed in the schedule hereto with their signatures affixed, concerning allegations of anti-party activities against Engineer Adebayo Dayo (erstwhile State Chairman), it was resolved as follows:
“Notwithstanding the refusal of Engineer Adebayo Dayo to attend this meeting after being duly notified of the convening of the meeting by 2/3 of the members of the OGSWC of our great party drawn from the three (3) Senatorial districts, the PDP OGSWC hereby resolves to send its complaints of anti-party activities against Engineer Adebayo Dayo to the National Executive Committee of the party for disciplinary measures to be considered.


“Engineer Adebayo Dayo is hereby suspended for a period of one month from the date hereof in the first instance and thereafter until the National Executive Committee takes a decision regarding the allegations made by the PDP OGSWC against him.”
Meanwhile, the party had distanced itself from a letter reportedly signed by Dayo debriefing Prince Ajibola Oluyede of TRLP LAW as counsel to the party in the state.


The party said, Dayo had no authority of the Ogun state PDP Exco to write the said letter dated 30th March, 2020, after he had been suspended.
All efforts to reach Dayo for his reaction proved abortive as his mobile phones were switched off.
