The Ogun State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has ratified suspension of the former governor, Gbenga Daniel and Hon. Kunle Folarin by their respective wards for alleged anti-party activities.

A statement issued on Tuesday night by the party’s Director of Publicity, Nuberu Olufemi, said the party at a meeting chaired by the State Chairman, Yemi Sanusi considered the reports of the Disciplinary Committees set up to investigate allegations of misconduct and anti-party activities levelled against the two members in Ward 4 and Ward 6 of Sagamu Local Government, respectively.

The statement said ” The State Chairman of the party, Chief Yemi Sanusi, chaired the meeting held on August 19, with sixteen members present. The meeting considered the reports of the following Disciplinary Committees investigating allegations of misconduct and anti-party activities against the two members in Ward 4 and Ward 6 of Sagamu Local Government, respectively.

” Ward 4, Sagamu Local Government, set up a Disciplinary Committee on the alleged misconduct bordering on anti-party activities committed by Senator Gbenga Daniel. Similarly, Ward 6, Sagamu Local Government, set up a Disciplinary Committee on the allegations of gross misconduct and anti-party activities allegedly committed by Hon. Kunle Folarin.

“They wrote to the members under investigation, inviting them to the disciplinary meetings at which they were to be heard and allowed to present evidence in their defense or request pardon from the party. However, both members failed to respond to the invitations extended to them in writing, failed to provide a written defense, and failed to attend the disciplinary meetings at which they were to be given the opportunity to defend themselves”.

It continued ” In view of their deliberate and unexplained absences, the Committees deliberated as scheduled, heard from the available witnesses, considered the available documentary evidence, and deliberated on the allegations. In addition to the above, the Committees received notice that the members under investigation had been harassing party members and warning members against cooperating with the Committees, and further that the members under investigation had been using their statuses within the party to pressure party members to withdraw the petitions against them. In view of this development, the Committees resolved to protect the integrity of the disciplinary process and to eliminate interference by the members under investigation.

” Upon due consideration, the Committees suspended the members indefinitely, pending further investigation and the outcome of the Committees’ inquiry. Copies of the letters of indefinite suspension had been sent to the State Chairman for consideration and approval of the State Working Committee. The suspensions were based on the members’ failure to cooperate with the investigation and their attempts to pressure party members to withdraw petitions against them.

“The SWC has ratified the suspensions. The meeting demonstrates the party’s commitment to maintaining discipline and upholding its constitution”.
