The African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Ogun State has suspended Jimi Lawal, a former aide to ex-Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, over alleged anti-party activities.
The party also unveiled a caretaker committee to oversee its affairs pending the conduct of a state congress.
State Chairman of the ADC, Femi Soluade, announced the development in a statement issued on Saturday in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
Soluade said the move was part of a broader restructuring process aimed at restoring stability within the party.
“We have suspended Mr. Jimi Adebola Lawal and declared him a non-member of the party due to activities inconsistent with the principles and internal democratic framework of the ADC,” he said.
According to him, Lawal allegedly attempted to dominate party structures through what he described as the systematic acquisition of two local government structures and the dismantling of existing state and local leadership frameworks.
The chairman added that the affected local government structures in Ijebu Ode and Sagamu have been restored to their original leadership to re-establish internal balance and inclusiveness within the party.
