The Ekiti state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended a former governor of the state, Chief Segun Oni over alleged anti-party activities.
The party in a letter dated May 1, 2019, addressed to Oni, said the suspension of the former Deputy National Chairman (South) of the party followed his refusal to honor an invitation to clear himself of the allegations of anti-party activities leveled against him.
The letter according to Punch was signed by the Chairman and Secretary of Ifaki Ward II, Shina Akinloye and Ogunyemi Taiwo; 24 executive members of the party in the ward; and the APC executive in Ido/Osi Local Government Area.
The letter reads in part
“We, the undersigned executive members of the APC, hereby suspend you indefinitely from our great party based on your refusal to honor our invitation for investigation into the allegations of anti-party activities leveled against you by members of our party.”
Reacting to the suspension, Oni said, “I’m not sure. There is a structure in the party. There is a way things are done in the party.”
On his failure to honor the April 24 invitation by the party’s branch in Ifaki Ward to clear himself of the allegations of anti-party activities leveled against him, Oni said, “Who are they? I’m not a nobody in the party. So, I cannot be expected to honor such a faceless invitation. Who are they? What is their pedigree? If a group of rascals signed a letter, how could they expect me to give any thought to such? Let those who wrote the letter show face.”
