FOLLOWING the inter-face between leadership of All Progressives Congress (APC) and its National Legal Adviser, Dr Muiz Banire, the executive committee of the party in Mushin Local Government on Thursday said has upheld the decision to suspend him from APC as recommended by his ward, Ward C, Ilasamaja, Mushin based on various anti- party activities.

Acting Secretary of the Ward, Hon Taofeek Ajani-Balogun, disclosed this in a statement made available to newsmen, saying that the decision to suspend Banire from the party was reached during the ward meeting held to review the last local government elections in the ward.

“After a critical assessment of individual activities and the performance of the party during the last elections, members of the party in Ward C, Ilasamaja Mushin unanimously voted for the immediate suspension of Mr Muiz Banire from participating in party activities in the ward and his removal from office as National Legal Adviser,” Ajani-Balogun said.

According to the party chieftain, the meeting also resolved to suspend the Ward and LGA chairmen and exco due to the poor results recorded in the last elections and has forwarded the ward’s decision to the LGA for further deliberations and recommendations to the state chapter.

Also speaking, the acting LGA party chairman in Mushin, Mr Sola Osobajo, confirmed that during the last LGA meeting, the party received and reviewed minutes of meeting from Ward C and considered the decisions contained therein, saying members decided to adopt the resolution after careful consideration.

“After receiving the minutes of the Ward C meeting, concerned and committed members of our great party, APC in Mushin Local Government party members deliberated on the resolutions of the ward meeting and having carefully considered the decision of Ward C Exco, we decided to adopt the resolution for further necessary action at the State and National level.

“The party exco in Mushin Local Government further recommended to the State Chapter the expulsion of Mr Muiz Banire from the party,” he said.

It would be recalled that leaders and members of APC some days ago held a peaceful protest to demand for the expulsion of Banire from the party based on his anti-party activities and in accordance with article 21 of the constitution of the party.
