Ogun PDP expels Ladi Adebutu, four others

Rather than thaw the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State deepened on Thursday as the party expelled a court-sacked governorship candidate, Ladi Adebutu, and four others from the party.

The decision was hinged on their alleged involvement in the manipulation of the delegates’ list used in the conducting the May 25, 2022 governorship primary election of the party and flagrant disobedience to court order.

Adebutu was expelled along with four others – Taiwo Akinlabi, Sunday Solarin, Kayode Adebayo and Akinloye Bankole, after the relevant Working Committee of the party, reviewed the report of a 5-man disciplinary panel set up to look into the allegations of anti-party, indiscipline, division and acts capable of bringing the party into disrepute.

The chairman of the disciplinary committee, Hon. Akintunde Mufutau said in a statement: “After a thorough review of the allegation levelled against them, the panel found Adebutu and others guilty. Subsequently, they have been recommended for expulsion and same has been communicated to the necessary organs of the party for ratification.”
