A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC),in Osun State, Barrister Ayodele Kusamotu, has called for the expulsion of the suspended members of the party in Ifelodun Local Government Area
He alleged that the said members constitute clogs in the wheel of its progress in the area.
He made this call in a statement he issued in Osogbo, the state capital at the weekend.
Kusamotu alleged that the suspended members calling themselves “Omoluabi”, which he ssid they are not, have continued to be deviant,while refuseing to change.
“Omoluabi Progressive is a paradox and a laughable play on words,” he said.
To him: ” Progressives are democrats leaning on the left side of the political spectrum. An Omoluabi is a well brought up Yoruba person who obeys rules.”
However he alleged: “The APC Omoluabi Progressives are political anarchists and not team players. Whist Section 40 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution guarantees freedom of assembly, it does not derogate from the rights of INEC over control of political associations.”
He recalled that the ongoing show of shame by suspended members of the APC who are backing ignorant party members must be nipped in the bud.
To him, “A stich in time saves nine. They call themselves APC OMOLUABI PROGRESSIVES with APC LOGO. This organization has breached the constitution of the party. ”
He said that the allegedly rule breakers cannot be OMOLUABI and the faction is designed to inflict damage on ongoing efforts to build unity within the party in Ifelodun Local Government.
Kusamotu said that Ifelodun Local Government must lead by example by applying the maximum sanction on the erring members.
According to him: “These elements should be expelled from the party once and for all. We must apply sanctions against the ventriloquists rather than the puppets.”
