Former lawmaker representing Kwara South Senatorial District, Senator Makanjuola Suleiman Ajadi, as well as the Special Assistant on Youths to the Kwara State Governor, Rasaq Apaguntan and four others have been suspended from All Progressive Congress (APC) Share ward 1, 2 and 5 in Ifelodun LGA of the State over anti-party activities and irreconcilable actions during the last governorship and house of assembly elections held on March 18, 2023.
Addressing newsmen in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, The Assistant Secretary Share Ward 5, Issa Yunusa, expressed disappointment over Ajadi’s alleged anti-party activities and open assault on APC before and during the elections
He said “This is to inform the general public that following an enlarged meeting of the APC Members in Share ward five, in Adio, in Ifelodun local government area of Kwara State, involving ward executive members, stakeholders, party elders and some individuals, former Senator Makanjuola Suleiman Ajadi has been suspended indefinitely from all All Progressives Congress, over his anti-party activities and irreconcilable actions during the last governorship and house of assembly elections held on March 18,2023 in the state”
“We expressed utter disappointment over Ajadi’s anti-party activities and open assault on APC before and during the elections
“To our utmost amazement and disbelief M.S Ajadi publicly directed his supporters in constituency “A” to work against the APC house of Assembly candidate, in person of Honourable Rasaki Olatunde Owolabi
“He asked them to vote for PDP candidate.
“To achieve his diabolical desire, a few days to the elections, he mobilised the opposition parties-PDP, SDP, ADC, Accord Party and NNPP during a meeting in Babaloma and instructed them to vote for governor Abdulrahman Abdurazak in the governorship election but to vote for the PDP candidate in the House of Assembly election. Truly, there was significant difference if you compared the results of the governorship and House of Assembly elections.
“This desperate, self-seeking, serial election candidate and political merchant, who had deserted APC after he lost the senatorial ticket at the primaries sometimes in May last year, was given a soft landing by Governor Abdulrahman Abdurazak to return to APC two days to the governorship and house of Assembly elections.
“Based on the overwhelming evidence of Ajadi’s compromise of the party’s constitution, we therefore, suspend him indefinitely from the party forthwith
“The general public should note this development, especially the party hierarchy at the state and national level. The suspension remains until otherwise stated” he said
