THE
All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo State has expelled some of its
members in Oluyole Local Government Area of Ibadan whom it accused of
breaching its constitution.
The affected members, who were informed through a letter dated 29 October, 2015, signed by the state secretary, Mr Mojeed Olaoya, it was learnt, were shown the exit door following the recommendations of various disciplinary committees which found them guilty of indiscipline, anti-party activities and abuse of privilege.
Notable among the axed members are a former Commissioner for Environment, Mr Lawrence Adewale and the immediate past Majority Leader of the state House of Assembly, Honourable James Oyeniyi Oyeniran.
The duo were alleged to have conspired with others to bring the party to disrepute before, during and after the 2015 general election.
Confirming the development to journalists, the Director of Publicity and Strategy of the APC in the state, Olawale Sadare, said the party was poised to rid itself of bad eggs who could constitute impediments to the effective delivery of the desired change to the citizenry at all levels of government, as promised during the electioneering.
“This action was long overdue since the affected persons did not, for once, show remorse over their bad conduct but rather preferred to continue in their bad ways.
“Apparently, the decision that has led to the fate that has befallen them was taken in due consideration of the party’s constitution and it will serve as a deterrent to others who are vulnerable because the APC is for democrats and disciplined citizens,” Sadare said.
