he Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has suspended former Secretary to the State government, Moshood Adeoti, former Speaker of the House of Assembly, Najeem Salam and 24 other members of the defunct The Osun Progressives.
TOP, a group loyal to former Governor Rauf Aregbesola, was recently disbanded, while a new group, the Omoluabi Progressives was formed about a week ago.
The suspension was contained in a statement obtained by InsightMedia on Thursday.
This is coming barely 24 hours after the Party expelled 84 members over allegations of anti-party.
The statement reads, “following complaints of anti-party activities, the State Executive Committee of the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) constituted a Disciplinary Committee to investigate the allegations against some of its members.
This disciplinary measure came in response to the allegations of misconduct bordering on factionalization 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 of suspending the following members indefinitely:
- Alhaji Moshood Adeoti
