The Labour Party (LP) in Ogun State has proposed the expulsion of a former acting National Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Arabambi, as well as the state Chairman, Michael Ashade, and six others.

Feyisayo Michael, Tosin Meadows, Seun Ogunyemi, and Lizzy Oliseh-Samuel, the Labour Party’s state secretary, state organising secretary, state auditor, and state financial secretary, are all recommended for expulsion.

According to newsmen, the recommendation was made public through a press statement issued by the party’s state publicity secretary, Tokunbo Peters.

Peters stated that the recommendation was prompted by various alleged anti-party activities carried out by eight executive members of the party, and that it was forwarded to the LP’s national secretariat last week.

Arabambi and Ashade, he claims, were recently suspended by the executive members of their respective wards and local government areas and were afterwards nominated for expulsion from the party.

Peters said, “Their suspension and recommendation for expulsion, which was communicated formally to the national secretariat of the party last week, was premised on various anti-party activities engaged in by Messers Abayomi Arabambi, Michael Ashade and their cohorts to destabilise, factionalise and bring the party into disrepute, acting as sponsored agents of the ruling All Progressives Congress.

“The statement further disclosed that before their eventual suspension, several warnings and cautions were given to make them refrain from their anti-party activities, especially through a peace and reconciliatory meeting, which was mediated by a frontline elder statesman.

“But rather than turn a new leaf, Arabambi and his cohorts became more recalcitrant and belligerent to satisfy their paymasters in the ruling APC.

“The party admonished the Inter Party Advisory Council in Ogun State to desist from relating with Michael Ashade and his cohorts, as they no longer hold any executive positions in the Labour Party.”
