The leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State is set to suspend the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Political Matters, Senator Babafemi Ojudu over alleged anti-party activities.
The case filed at the Federal High Court in Abuja had twice been mentioned in court and adjourned for further hearing on July 6.
The President’s aide had last week in an interview accused the state governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi of running the affairs of the party as his personal business, saying all internal mechanisms towards resolving issues had been frustrated by the governor.
He also alleged that Governor Fayemi has done little or nothing in the state since he was elected in 2018.
Reliable sources close to Ward 8 in Ado-Ekiti,
revealed yesterday that members of Ojudu’s ward executives were invited by the State Working Committee (SWC) led by Chairman, Mr. Paul Omotosho to the party secretariat and were instructed to commence the suspension process without convincing evidence of his offence.
When contacted, Ojudu said he was informed this afternoon (Friday) that the State Working Committee had started moves to suspend him.
But the Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Ade Ajayi, denied any such move and called on members of the APC to disregard it.
