The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo State has taken disciplinary action against Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, representing Ondo South Senatorial District, suspending him from the party due to alleged anti-party activities.
The suspension was carried out by the APC Executive Committee of Igbotako Ward 11 in Okitipupa Local Government Area, comprising 16 members, who cited violations of the party’s constitution as the reason for their decision.
According to the suspension notice, Senator Ibrahim’s actions, including suing the party and encouraging his supporters to join the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NPP), constitute insubordination and anti-party activities. This development comes despite a meeting with the National Party Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, where he was urged to cooperate with the party’s candidate, Governor Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa.
The suspension, effective immediately, was made in accordance with Article 21, Section A of the APC Constitution. The ward executive members who signed the notice include Bakere Usuf, Tore Obwoselu, Oloyinmi Idowu, and others.
This development highlights the internal conflicts within the APC in Ondo State and the party’s efforts to discipline members who violate its constitution and engage in anti-party activities. The suspension of Senator Ibrahim serves as a warning to other party members who may be considering similar actions, emphasizing the importance of party loyalty and discipline.
