The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has announced the removal of the acting chairman of the party in Ado Local Government Area, Mr Dare Olomofe, over alleged anti-party activities.

According to Adebayo, the decisions were taken after the consideration of the report of a 7-man disciplinary committee set up to consider allegations by members of the party.
The statement read: “Mr Dare Olomofe was appointed by the State Working Committee to act in the place of the chairman of the party, Mr Akintunde Osadeyi who was suspended earlier.

“The State Executive Committee, after considering the report of the Committee hereby reviewed the suspension of Mr Akintunde Osadeyi and reinstate him therein as the substantive chairman of PDP, Ado Ekiti Local Government Area.
“The party has equally suspended two ward chairmen who were also found to have conducted elections into the ward executive without authority from the state or national Secretariat of the party.
“This was consequent upon the submission of the report of the 7-Man Disciplinary Committee set up to look into the allegations against them by members of their wards.
“The party has therefore suspended Mr Remigious Ogunmoriye and Mr Tope Makanjuola for the period of three months, in line with section 58(1) of the constitution of the party, while their vice-chairmen would become acting chairmen till the expiration of the suspension. The affected chairmen are hereby directed to hand over all the property of the party to their vice-chairmen.”
