APC speaks on suspending Faleke, Ikuforiji, 19 others

The Lagos State chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress

(APC) has described as untrue reports making the rounds on social media that it has suspended some key members of the party for alleged anti-party activities.

Among those reported to have been suspended by the Party were: Adeyemi Ikuforiji, a former Speaker of the House of Assembly, James Faleke, a member of the House of Representatives, Adeniji Kazeem, the Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in Lagos, Seyon Olulade, a member of the state House of Assembly and others.

They were alleged to have formed an alliance with the Action Democratic Party (ADP) to bring the ruling party down, both in the state and at the federal level.

However, in a terse statement signed by Joe Igbokwe, the party’s State Secretary, the party said the report was planted by the opposition to cause disaffection within the party.

“The news flying about that the All Progressive Congress (APC), Lagos State Chapter, has suspended Lagos State House of Assembly former Speaker, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, and 20 others including Special Adviser to the governor on Community and Communication Affairs, Hakeem Sulaiman-Oris, Attorney General, Niji Kaseem, Muslim Folami, James Faleke, Babatunde Quadri, Segun Olulade, Tunde Buraimoh, Sakiru Anifowose Dengen, Yemi Alli, Hakeem Bamgbola, Alhaji Bashkirs Adekoya, Otumba Tayo Oyemade, Hon Abiodun Mafe, Rev Iyo Oyasodun, Sanyo Osijo, Hakeem Masha, Cornelius Ojelabi, Femi Apata, among others is not true.”
