Pursuant to its authority, the State Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State has formally endorsed the suspension of former governor Ibikunle Amosun, a party member from Ward 6, Abeokuta-South Local Government, for alleged anti-party activities. The meeting, convened on August 20, 2025, under the leadership of State Chairman Chief Yemi Sanusi, with sixteen members in attendance, reviewed the findings of the Disciplinary Committee established to probe allegations of misconduct against the aforementioned member.
The Disciplinary Committee of Ward 6, Abeokuta-South Local Government, was constituted to investigate claims of anti-party behavior attributed to the former governor. The Committee issued a written invitation to the member, offering him an opportunity to attend a disciplinary hearing, present evidence in his defense, or seek clemency from the party. Regrettably, the member neither responded to the written summons, submitted a defense, nor appeared at the scheduled hearing to address the allegations.
Given his unexplained absence, the Committee proceeded with its deliberations, examining testimonies from available witnesses and reviewing pertinent documentary evidence. Additionally, the Committee received reports that the member under investigation had been intimidating party members and attempting to coerce them into withdrawing complaints against him, leveraging his influence within the party. To safeguard the integrity of the disciplinary process, the Committee resolved to counter such interference.
After thorough deliberation, the Committee imposed an indefinite suspension on the member, pending further investigation and the conclusion of its inquiry. A formal letter of suspension was forwarded to the State Chairman for review and ratification by the State Working Committee. The suspension was anchored on the member’s lack of cooperation with the investigation and his efforts to obstruct justice by pressuring party members.
The SWC has upheld the suspension, reaffirming the party’s unwavering commitment to enforcing discipline and adhering to its constitutional principles.
E-signed,
Nuberu Olufemi,
Director of Publicity, Ogun APC.
