The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has announced the indefinite suspension of former governor Gbenga Daniel and Hon. Kunle Folarin over allegations of anti-party activities.

APC spokesman Nuberu Olufemi confirmed that the suspension followed disciplinary actions initiated at their respective wards. He explained that the move was in line with the constitutional powers of the party’s State Working Committee.

Ogun State APC Chairman Yemi Sanusi, who presided over the committee meeting held on August 19 with sixteen members present, said:

“Upon due consideration, the Committees suspended the members indefinitely, pending further investigation and the outcome of the Committees’ inquiry. Copies of the letters of indefinite suspension had been sent to the State Chairman for consideration and approval of the State Working Committee.”

Sanusi further explained, “The meeting considered the reports of the following Disciplinary Committees investigating allegations of misconduct and anti-party activities against the two members in Ward 4 and Ward 6 of Sagamu Local Government, respectively.

Ward 4, Sagamu Local Government, set up a Disciplinary Committee on the alleged misconduct bordering on anti-party activities committed by Senator Gbenga Daniel. Similarly, Ward 6, Sagamu Local Government, set up a Disciplinary Committee on the allegations of gross misconduct and anti-party activities allegedly committed by Hon. Kunle Folarin.” “In addition to the above, the Committees received notice that the members under investigation had been harassing party members and warning members against cooperating with the Committees, and further that the members under investigation had been using their statuses within the party to pressure party members to withdraw the petitions against them.”, he added.
