Ogun PDP Suspends Kashamu, 6 Others

The Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) today issued a notice suspending Senator Buruji Kashamu and 6 other members of the party with immediate effect.

Other names on the list are: Mr. Bayo Dayo, Mr. Pegba Otemolu, Mr. Semiu Shodipo, Mr Fatai Adeyanju, Mr. Segun Seriki, Hon. Daisi Akitan and Hon. Bowale Solaja.

According to a statement signed by the state chairman, Hon. Sikirulai Olawale Ogundele and his secretary – Hon. Olabode Bankole the suspension was the aftermath of a Panel constituted last June to investigate allegations of “financial improprieties, anti-party activities and sundry reckless acts that are capable of bringing our great party to disrepute”.

The statement further says: “The Panel on several occasions invited some of the above named who were implicated in the misapplication and outright diversion of party funds to defend and acquit themselves of those allegations but they refused to honour the invitation.

“Based on the preliminary report of the Panel however, submitted to the Executive committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, Ogun State Chapter, we found merit in the allegations and hereby adopt the report and findings of the Panel which include recommendation to suspend the above mentioned.

“In the exercise of the powers vested on the State Executive committee in accordance with the Constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party the above names are hereby suspended from the Ogun State Chapter of the PDP with immediate effect; their names have also been forwarded to the national secretariat of the party for necessary further appropriate disciplinary actions.”
