Ogun APC suspend Rep Member

THE leadership of All Peoples Congress (APC) in Ward 1 of Owode, Yewa South of Ogun State, on Thursday, reaffirmed that Honourable Abiodun Akinlade, a member of the House of Representatives, representing the area remained suspended indefinitely.

The party restated its stand in a statement issued and signed by its chairman, Mr Afolayan Dauda and the secretary, Idowu Azeez , a copy of which was made available to the Nigerian Tribune, saying that its attention had been drawn to a recent publication in a national daily (not the Nigerian Tribune) about the statement credited to Akinlade that he was in Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) now APC.

The party, while listing the alleged offences of Akinlade to warrant his suspension, accused him of failure to attend any of the ward, local or state meeting since he joined the defunct ACN in the last two and a half years

The lawmaker was also accused of not making any impact in law-making process at the National Assembly, including failure to attract federal presence to his federal constituency of Yewa South and Ipokia of Ogun State.

The party insisted that the suspension placed on Akinlade stayed whether the platform was ACN or APC, adding that “ACN or APC, your suspension stays.”
