LEADERSHIP gathered that the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Dr. Major had earlier on Thursday in Abuja, addressed a press conference wherein he announced the expulsion of the two state chairmen of the party.

While addressing newsmen at the press conference held at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja, Major had described the development as “very disheartening”, emphasizing that “no party worth its salt will condone such misdemeanor”.

“Unfortunately, some states chairmen and their executives, apart from very loud anti- party activities were accused of plethora of wrongdoings which negated their oath of office.

“This prompted the National Working Committee (NWC) to set up a disciplinary committee to investigate three states: Edo, Delta, and Ogun. While the Edo State Chairman appeared before the Disciplinary Committee,  the Delta State Chairman, Chief Efe Tobor and his Ogun State counterpart, Comrade Sunday Olaposi Ogini failed to appear on the two occasions they were invited.

“Consequently, the NWC met on Thursday, April 27, 2023 and came up with the following decisions: That both the Chairman of NNPP in Ogun State, Sunday Olaposi Ogini and his Delta State counterpart, Chief Efe Tobor and his Ogun State have been expelled from the party, with effect from Thursday, April 27, 2023.

“That the executives from the state, down to the local government and Ward levels in Ogun and Delta States have been dissolved effective from Thursday, April 27, 2023.

“The expulsion of both Comrade Sunday Olaposi Ogini and Chief Efe Tobor will be taken to the National Executive Committee (NEC) and the National Convention for ratification while further development on these two States and others will be made public”.
