A faction of the African Democratic Congress in Edo State has suspended a former governor of Edo State and national leader of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
Other Edo ADC leaders suspended were Senator Osareimen Osunbor, Senator Yisa Braimah, Senator Ehigie Uzamare,
Hon. Nosa Ehima, Hon. Sylvester Ewanehi, Tony Alile, Jafaru Sumaila, Stella Alli, Igieogbe Asemota, and Christopher Ojeikere.
The Edo ADC said it acted on Article 15(A), (B), (C)(1), (2), and (3) and Article 9(iv) of the party’s constitution to issue the directive.
Factional Chairman of the party, Kennedy Odion, said in a statement that the suspended members allegedly engaged in insubordination, including refusing to comply with lawful Party directives, and anti-party activities, such as conduct inconsistent with Party objectives and directives.
Odion said Oyegun and others’ actions could cause disaffection, disorder, or disruption within the Party structure.
