The party had earlier dissolved the executives of Taraba, Benue, Oyo, Bauchi and Gombe states in the first week of September, citing the need to reposition the party amongst other things.
According to a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary, Ladipo Johnson, the decision to probe some of the erstwhile executive committee members and some other members of the party was a normal step in a dynamic political party that is poised to make necessary changes for development and achievement of goals.
“Those suspended for 3 months (in the first instance) are; Mrs. Ayobami Idowu Adekunle, Alhaji Rasheed Adebisi Olopoeniyan, Mr. Demola Oke, Mr Kilamuwaiye Badmus, Mr Oyesola Ololade, Mr Olayiwola Musibau, Mr Tunde Adedapo, and Ms Riike Olanira.
He said, “The NWC of our party has therefore deemed it fit and proper to investigate some of the erstwhile members of the recently dissolved Oyo state executive committee, and some from the South West leadership of the party.
“The issues are generally tied to offences against the party and anti-party activities. Of course, no serious leadership would condone such attitude as alleged to have been perpetrated by these suspended members of the party.
“All those affected have been informed of the decision and will be expected to appear before the party’s National Disciplinary Committee.”
In effecting the probe the statement cited Article 45.6.2 of the party constitution which states that “Nothing in this Article shall prevent the National Working Committee from suspending a member of the party against whom an accusation has been levied and / or disciplinary proceedings are pending.”
