APC Suspends Alao-Akala Over Alleged Anti-party Activities
Olamijuwonlo Alao-Akala, the son of the former governor of Oyo state, Adebayo Alao-Akala, has been suspended by the Oyo State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over alleged anti-party activities.
Alao-Akala, who is the Chairman of Ogbomoso North Local Government area of the state, was elected as Chairman of the council under the platform of the APC.
Apart from the party, four councillors in the Local government area where Olamijuwonlo Alao-Akala is the chairman have also suspended him.
His suspension was contained in a letter dated Friday, February 15th 2019 and signed by four councillors from the council.
Publicity Secretary of APC in the state, Abdulazeez Olatunde, who confirmed the suspension of Alao-Akala to reporters on Tuesday, added that the party took the right decision by suspending the council boss because he has dumped the APC to join ADP.
Olatunde said, “Yes, we have suspended him. He crossed from the party and went to ADP. What do you want us to do?”
The Oyo APC spokesman added that the councillors also took the right decision by suspending Alao-Akala.
He said, “Yes, they have to do that. Didn’t they impeach Ladoja? Was he not impeached? Was he not elected? The councillors are the ones like the house of Assembly in the state”.
The councillors who signed the letter suspending Alao-Akala in the letter obtained by Concise News on Tuesday included; Hon. Adebowale Oladunmoni (Deputy Leader), Hon. Zakariyau Ayinde Kabiru, Hon. Adisa Raheem Kingsley and Hon. Busari Lamidi Adesina.
The four councillors in the letter, a copy which were sent to the office of the Commissioner for Local Government Affairs, Bimbo Kolade, said, “Take notice that we the undersigned councillors in Ogbomoso Local Government Area hereby passed a resolution suspending you from the office as the executive chairman of Ogbomoso North Local Government for your gross misconduct”
