Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State has recommended Chief Olabode George for suspension over his alleged anti-party spanning two decades.
Bode George, a Board of Trustees member of the National Working Committee of the party was voted for suspension for deliberately causing disaffection within the party that led to the party losing power in Lagos State.
Also, a PDP chieftain and former Chairman of the party in the state, Otunba Segun Adewale, has affirmed his membership and loyalty to the party.
Adewale, popularly known as Aeroland, stated this in a statement he signed on Tuesday in Lagos.
Reacting to his alleged suspension from the PDP, he stated that he had never been suspended by any leader in the party, adding that the rumours of his suspension were spread by mischief makers.
He described the recent attempt to suspend him through the Alimosho Local Government chapter of the party as a diversionary move fueled by PDP BoT member Chief Olabode George so as to debar further enquiry about how he (Bode George) had allegedly trade-off the party’s political fortune over the years.
According to Adewale, a general assembly meeting of Alimosho PDP led by the acting chairman, Mrs. Esther Adeyemi, was held on June 15, 2024, to review recent happenings in the party.
At a meeting of Alimosho PDP, Adeyemi, said, “There is no crisis in Alimosho PDP and that Otunba Segun Adewale (Aeroland) has no problem with anyone except those conniving with those who worked against the party in the last election.
“That Chief Olabode George’s attempt to instigate crisis in the party by using associates of Segun Adewale to attack him is highly condemnable.
“Chief Olabode George has done severe damage to the reputation and efforts of the party and well-meaning members of the party through his anti-party activities spanning over two decades,” said the party.
The party, however, noted that the purported suspension of Segun Adewale on the instruction of Bode George by a few excos in Alimosho was illegal.
