Ekiti PDP crisis: Ousted Chairman, Oguntuase, other Fayose’s loyalists suspended Indefinitely

Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ekiti State, Mr Williams Ajayi, has suspended his ousted rival, Mr Gboyega Oguntuase and two others from the party with immediate effect. The sacked Publicity Secretary, Jackson Adebayo and Secretary, Tope Anjorin were also suspended by the court validated executive of the party.

Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti, had in a judgement delivered on Tuesday by Justice Taiwo Taiwo, dissolved Oguntuase’s group, known to be Fayose’s protégé and ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to grant Ajayi’s group recognition.

A statement signed by the Deputy Chairman of the party, Engr Olasunkanmi Ogunbiyi, Secretary, Elder Obe Ilesanmi and the Public Relations Officer, Mr Dayo Owolabi, said the action became imperative, following series of anti-party allegations leveled against the members, “particularly their roles in the parallel congress held at Adetiloye hall, under the supervision of Mr Ayodele Fayose on 10th May, 2016.

“And upon investigation, more importantly the judgement of the Federal High Court of 24th January, 2017, the SWC hereby resolved to suspend Mr Oguntuase and his team of impostors forthwith”, the statement stated.
