166

Olayode Omorayewa, the chairman of the All Progressive Congress in Isaipen Ward 8 of the Owo, Owo Local Government Area of Ondo State, has been placed on suspension for abuse of position and poor management.

A letter delivered to the party’s local government chairman and bearing the signatures of three local government excos and 24 ward excos announced the suspension.

The suspension of Omarayewa starts on Sunday, April 9, 2023.

Because Omorayewa has failed to advance the party, the exco members have lost faith in him.

The motion for loss of confidence was introduced by the financial secretary, Mr. Joseph Oladipo, and seconded by the special people representation on the exco, Mr. Oke Abiodun.

The suspension notice read, ”The Executive Committee of Isaipen ward 8 in Owo, Owo Local Government met today to deliberate on some developments which are inimical to the interest and growth of our party. These developments which are capable of derailing the party from attaining its lofty objective and become the dominant party in Owo Local Government and the entire state had remained a matter of concern to all stakeholders.

“The exco at its meeting of today deliberated on its performance during the recently concluded Presidential, Senatorial, House of Representatives and House of Assembly Elections. The meeting also review the estranged relationship between the Ward Chairman and other exco members, the inter-relationship between the Ward Chairman and party leaders in Isaipen and other ward Chairmen and Unit Heads.

“After extensive deliberations, it was unanimously agreed that the ward Chairman is not providing the required leadership and his attitude is creating disharmony across board within the party. His continued retention as Ward Chairman and suitability has to be reviewed in the overall interest of the party.”
