Osun PDP Faction Nullifies Governorship Aspirant’s Expulsion

A faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Gbongan, Ayedaade local government area of Osun State, has nullified the expulsion of a governorship aspirant in the party, Omooba Dotun Babayemi from the party over alleged anti-party activities.

It would be recalled that some members of the party who claimed to be executive committee at a press conference last week announced the explosion of Babayemi after a disciplinary committee found him guilty of the allegations and the mainstream party caretaker leadership at the state level consequently validated Babayemi’s expulsion.

Addressing a press conference at PDP local government secretariat, Oke Church, Gbongan on Monday the Secretary of PDP Ward 02 in the town, Adekunle Munirudeen, claimed that executive members of Babayemi’s Ward 02 who had last week announced the expulsion were illegal and not recognised by the court.
Munirudeen therefore described Babayemi’s sack as a nullity adding that the allegations of anti-party activities levelled against the gubernatorial aspirant were mere fabrication.

Babayemi had engaged in a legal battle over the nomination of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the July 16 governorship candidate of the party in the state.

Munirudeen said its camp is the only valid and duly elected Ward Executive that can commence a disciplinary process by virtue of Section 57 of the Peoples Democratic Party Constitution, 2017 as amended.
