Osun APC suspends additional 26 members for alleged anti-party activities

The All Progressives Congress in Osun, on Thursday, announced the suspension of an additional 26 members of the party for alleged anti-party activities, after expelling 84 members for the same reason on Wednesday.

The suspension is contained in a statement signed by Mr Sooko Lawal, Osun APC Chairman.

Lawal said the suspension is due to complaints and allegations of factionalisation of the party brought against the affected members.

“Following complaints of anti-party activities, the State Executive Committee of the Osun State chapter of the APC constituted a Disciplinary Committee to investigate the allegations against some of its members.

''This disciplinary measure comes in response to the allegations of misconduct bordering on factionalisation of the party and creating parallel party organ.

“The disciplinary committee undertook a thorough and impartial review of the allegations and the findings were carefully deliberated upon by the State Executive Committee.

“After a comprehensive assessment of the evidence and consideration of the committee’s recommendations, the state executive committee has taken the difficult, yet necessary, step,” he continued.
