Press Release

Kogi ADC Suspends Rep Abejide For Insubordination, Anti-party Activities

The Kogi State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended the member representing Yagba East-West/Mopamuro Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon. Leke Abejide from the party indefinitely.

A statement issued by the State’s Secretary of the party, Adaji John in Lokoja on Friday, ADC cited gross insubordination, engaging in anti-party activities as reasons behind the move.

This is just as the party maintained that Hon. Abejide risks expulsion from the ADC should he continue to undermine the party and cast aspersions on the leadership both in the State and at the federal levels.

John in the statement made available to newsmen in Lokoja said the decision to suspend the federal lawmaker was due to his recent meeting with some members of the party in Abuja without clearance from the leadership of the ADC in Kogi State.

“The Kogi State chapter of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has suspended one of our members serving in the National Assembly. The affected person is Honourable Leke Abejide, representing Yagba East-West/Mopamuro Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.

“For ease of reference to specify clearly, Hon. Abejide’s suspension is based on proven case of gross insubordination and an attempt to usurp the powers of the State chairman and the Secretary. The suspension is also due to the aspersion he cast on the leadership at a recent event in Abuja, the nation’s capital,” John stated in the release.

According to the party, Hon. Abejide went beyond his limits when he attempted to lure the leadership of the party at the wards and Local Governments to a meeting with the aim of working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) against the interest of our great party, ADC.

“We are aware of a recent meeting purportedly called by him inviting our leaders in the wards and Local Governments to Abuja, a clear violation of relevant portions of the party’s constitution which gives such powers to the chairman and secretary only,” he said.

John warned other members of the party who were sighted with the lawmaker at the anti-party gathering to “shape up or ship out”, saying that ADC as a party will not tolerate any act of indiscipline.

The statement further warned the lawmaker to desist from casting aspersion on leaders of the party just as it warned him to discontinue his further association with the APC.

Signed:
Mr. Adaji John,
Secretary, Kogi State ADC
