APC suspends Ex-Publicity Secretary Tajudeen Aro for accusing party of deceiving people

The Kwara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended Alhaji Tajudeen Aro, its immediate past Publicity Secretary.

This is contained in a letter shared on Sunday by Aro on a WhatsApp group.

Signed by Ojomu North West ward party executives in Offa Local Government Area, the letter cited anti-party activities, attempt to create discord and divisiveness within the party and disregard for party supremacy

The suspension takes immediate effect, pending further disciplinary actions.

The letter alleged that Aro’s actions undermined the party’s unity and interests.

The suspension is necessary to maintain party discipline and cohesion,” the executives stated.

Aro, who is a chairmanship aspirant for Offa Local Government Area, described the party’s local government primary elections as a shambles and accused the electoral committee of ridiculing and betraying the trust of the people.

He claimed that no primary election was conducted for the party’s local government elections.

“Is this how a party should operate? They are frustrating the efforts of party members because they want to manipulate the election. This is a sign of anti-party behaviour, as it is not what should be done to party members,” he said.

“They are destroying the party. We are not in a secret society; our party needs to be transparent, which is why we have a party constitution. They did not follow the constitution, and someone is claiming to have authority over me.”

He alleged that the state chapter of the party was not adhering to its constitution.

“People should ask them if they are really working for the party or if they have another party operating underground that they haven’t made known to the public. They are just selecting people they want from different local governments,” he said.
