Ondo APC lifts suspension of members involved in anti-party activities, others


The Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has disclosed that the suspension placed on members of the party involved in alleged anti-party activities has been lifted.

While disclosing that the lifting of the suspension takes immediate effect, the chairman of the party in the state, Ade Adetimehin, stated that the move was taken for the party to be indivisible and united ahead of the November 16 governorship election in the state.

Adetimehin, who revealed this at the weekend in Akure, the state capital, urged the affected party members to shun anti-party activities and join forces with the party in preparation for the poll.

It will be recalled that some aggrieved aspirants of the party who kicked against the April 20 governorship primaries, which produced Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa as the standard-bearer of the party, were suspended by their various wards.

Also, no fewer than 61 members of the party in Akoko South West and Akoko South East Local Council Areas of the state were suspended last year by the party following their alleged involvement in the woeful performance of the party during the general elections in 2023.

The chairman of the party who assured residents of the state that the APC administration is ever-ready to tackle the challenges facing the state and country at large, and described the recent reconciliation between Aiyedatiwa and Olusola Oke (SAN) as one of the great achievements recorded in the political history of the party.

Adetimehin, who hailed Oke for his maturity, emphasised that the erstwhile APC aspirant’s action signalled his genuine love for the party, particularly his resolve to collapse his political structure for the progress of the party.

The party chairman, however, assured supporters of Oke of unbiased treatment, saying they are all APC members.

He also urged the other aggrieved party members and aspirants to emulate Oke by putting the party above their interests, saying that such a move would solidify and unify the party.
