Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in Ward E, Badagry local government area of Lagos State, Hon. Jamiu Nunayon Boglo, the ward secretary, Mr. Homakon Jacob Mautin and other members of the Ward Executive Council (Exco) have disowned the letter purportedly suspending the state chairman of the party, Hon. Philip Olabode Aivoji.
In a press statement jointly signed by the ward chairman and other ward executives, Boglo described as fake and malicious the letter that they signed suspending Aivoji.
Boglo warned those behind the forged letter of the state chairman’s suspension to desist as their action had criminal undertone.
The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a malicious and false letter purportedly from the Exco members of Ward E, Keta – West, Badagry local government area of Lagos State suspending the party’s state chairman, Honourable Philip Olabode Aivoji and we were surprised, dumbfounded and shocked to read such letter in the media.
“We, the undersigned who are the incumbent and the authentic Ward E Exco members of Keta – West, Badagry local government area, whose names appeared on the said letter of suspension, but whose signatures were forged, hereby unequivocally refute signing of any letter of suspension, and we state categorically that the purported letter of suspension did not emanate from us and we deny it in its entirely”
The ward chairman noted that at no time did the members contemplate such a heinous act on a leader who had remained not only a mentor; but also an inspiration to everybody in the Ward as he had on many occasions committed his personal resources to the growth of the party in the Ward in particular and the state in general.
He said the ward “hereby denounces the purported suspension and disassociates the Exco and entire members from it as it does not emanate from any member of the Exco of Ward E in Badagry local government area whose names were maliciously written without their consent and signatures, which were forged.”
