The party also suspended two female Reps candidates until further notice for the same offenses.

Similarly, the party ratified the earlier suspension of Oyo North’s acting senatorial chairman, Oloyede Tajudeen to expulsion.

The letter reads in part: ” Sequel to the receipt of the disciplinary committee letter dated Tuesday 11th April 2023, the State Working Committee critically looked into the matter and thereby resolved on the following decisions:

The disciplinary committee, headed by the state party Legal Adviser, Barr. Rasaq Salaudeen Olaoye alleged that the candidates and members had contravened the constitution, rules, and regulations of the party and added that they individually committed offenses without consultation with the party structure.

According to Adegbola, who spoke on behalf of the state working committee it was said the expulsion and suspension action was mandatory to stop the anti-party activities among our members.

Adegbola alleged that most of the expelled candidates carried out open campaigns against the party, an action made without the approval or consent of the party, which believed it is invalid.

Stating further, Adegbola said, ” The listed candidates acted on their selfish interest against the party, which is a clear betrayal of the trust that our party and our supporters have placed in them. We condemn this behavior in the strongest possible terms, after the serious celebration, we have taken appropriate action to ensure that our party’s values and goals are not compromised”
