PDP lifts suspension on Oyinlola’s loyalists in Osun

The Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State has lifted the suspension on some members of the party believed to be loyalists of the party’s National Secretary, former Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola.

This was contained in a statement by Alhaji Ganiyu Olaoluwa, the state chairman of the party on Friday in Osogbo.

The Federal Court of Appeal in Abuja had on Thursday upheld the election of Oyinlola as the National Secretary of the party.

It will also be recalled that the party had earlier in September announced the suspension of the party members, who were accused of attending a rally organised at the instance of Oyinlola in Okuku, his country home.

The statement stated that the party took the action at the end of its State Executive Committee meeting held at its secretariat in Ogo-Oluwa, Osogbo.

It said the party executive resolved that the suspension be lifted on the affected members in response to the court’s ruling that reinstated Oyinlola as the party’s national secretary.

The statement added that the party had granted “state pardon “to other chiefs of the party, who had earlier been suspended for similar reasons.

Affected persons were Alhaji Ademola Rasaq, former state chairman and Chief Yinka Adeojo, former state secretary of the party as well as Alhaji Bakare Akomola, a party chief.
