The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has expelled a former factional chairman of the party, Alhaji Rasak Salinsile, the current Commissioner for Political and Inter-governmental Affairs in the state, Comrade Biyi Odunlade, Special Adviser to Governor Ademola Adeleke on Children Affairs, Mrs Sekinat Temilade Olokungboye and 81 others from the party.
State Chairman of the APC, Sooko Tajudeen Lawal said the decision followed complaints of anti-party activities which the State Executive Committee of the APC constituted a disciplinary committee to investigate the allegations against some members.
A statement signed on Wednesday night and made available to OSUN DEFENDER by Lawal, noted that the disciplinary measure came in response to the allegations of misconduct and actions that embarrassed and brought the party to disrepute.
The Chairman said the disciplinary committee undertook a thorough and impartial review of the allegations and the findings were carefully deliberated upon by the State Executive Committee.
OSUN DEFENDER gathered that majority of those expelled belonged to the defunct The Osun Progressives (TOP) and are core loyalists of the former Governor of the State and immediate-past Minister of Interior, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
