The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State on Sunday suspended a serving lawmaker and former Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Dare Kadiri, indefinitely, for alleged anti party activities.
Kadiri popularly called Maba was reportedly suspended indefinitely by the leadership of Ward 11 in Ijebu North Local Government Area of the state.
The lawmaker recently played hosted to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, and vowed not to work for Governor Dapo Abiodunâs reelection bid.
A report jointly signed by the General Secretary and Ward Councillor, Olarenwaju Abiodun and Sobonojo Adeniyi said the suspension was affirmed by the Ward Congress on Sunday.
The party leaders accused him of hobnobbing with the opposition and vowing to work against Governor Dapo Abiodunâs reelection.
âConclusively, the nineteen out of the twenty seven Exco members unanimously agreed and voted for the indefinitely suspension of Hon. Oluwadare Kadiri (Maba) from ward 11 APC,â the report partly reads.
The State Publicity Secretary of APC, Tunde Oladunjoye, confirmed the suspension to our correspondent on Sunday
âYes (it is true). Itâs a decision taken at the ward level,â Oladunjoye said.
In a swift reaction, Kadiri dismissed the suspension, describing those behind it as jobless.
He said, âThey are a faction and I donât even recognize their chairman. He was not even elected, I donât know how he is now parading himself as my chairman. He is not the elected chairman. The case is still court, they are still trying to determine who the authentic chairman of the ward is. Can you build something on nothing? Nobody invited me, I donât know my offense.
