The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has ratified the removal from office of the Osun State Chairman of our party, Hon. Adesoji Adagunodo, following the validation of a vote of no confidence passed on him by the State Executive.
The decision was contained in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan on Tuesday.
The party leadership directed the Vice Chairman, Elder Sunday Akanfe Atidade, who has been in acting capacity to take total control of the party pending emergence of a substantive chairman.
The decision of the NWC is consequent upon the report of the Sub-Committee set up by the NWC which investigated and validated the allegations as well as the Vote of no Confidence passed against Hon. Adagunodo by the state executive, in line section 59 (2) (4) of the PDP Constitution.
Consequently, the NWC has directed the State Deputy Chairman, Hon. Sunday Akanfe, to take charge of the affairs of the Osun state chapter pending the emergence of a substantive state Chairman in keeping with the dictates of the PDP Constitution.
The PDP wishes the former State Chairman well in his future endeavors as he continues to contribute his quota to the growth and development of our party.
Adagunodo was asked to step aside on April 30th, 2020 after a petition was forwarded to the national leadership of the party, alleging him of anti-party, malfeasance and financial recklessness.
