At least 31 members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akoko South West Local Government Area of Ondo State has been Suspend.

In a letter addressed to the state chairman of the party, Mr Ade Adetimehin, the party stated that its decision was based on the report of a committee set up to look into the matter.

In a letter signed by the chairman and a leader of the party, Chief Sehinde Mishe and Mr Victor Olabimtan, respectively, the offence of the affected members was not stated but it was gathered that the suspension of the affected members was not unconnected with the anti-party roles they allegedly played in the last general elections.

A part of the letter read, “Having gone through the list and consider the report of the fact-finding committee, the leaders across the 15 wards unanimously resolved that the following members of the party stand suspended from the party.”

According to the letter, the affected members are: Yaya Adelakun, Alh Abubakar Alonge, Mr Femi Ayoko, Segun Olukoju, Olugbegba Omole, Sunday Ajulu, Oteruku Sunday, Felix Ajakaye , Adejoro Paul, Mr Ayelure and Opeyemi Igbede.

Others are, Alege Monday, Okajare Idowu, Tenabe Busuyi, Adedeji Dupe, Oyinbosokun Oluwole, Olasukanmi Sunday, Mrs Kayode Mary, Idowu Olanusi, Elder Rogbitan L.I and Bodunde Johnson,

In a reaction, Adetimehim said the state secretariat would look into the matter and address the problem.

“It is a family affair and we would look into it and address the problem,” Adetimehin promised.

A National Summit on the Future of Nigeria’s Constitutional Democracy, will hold on May, 28, and 29.

The proposed national summit, initiated by The Patriots in collaboration with the Nigerian Political Summit Group (NPSG), is aimed at facilitating broad national consensus on the most suitable and inclusive governance system for Nigeria.

The members of the Convening/Coordinating Committee, Inaugurated yesterday, includes former governors, Chief Gbenga Daniel (Ogun State), Aminu Tambuwal (Sokoto State), former Minister of Information, Labaran Maku; publisher, African Newspapers of Nigeria (ANN) Plc, publishers of the Tribune titles, Ambassador (Dr) Tokunbo Awolowo Dosumu, and other eminent Nigerians.

The event, chaired by a former Commonwealth Secretary-General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, marked the formal commencement of preparations for the National Summit on the Future of Nigeria’s Constitutional Democracy.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Chief Anyaoku, who remains a towering figure in national and global diplomacy at the age of 92, set the tone for what many see as a crucial national dialogue.

He declared that Nigeria’s current constitutional arrangement, anchored on the 1999 Constitution (as amended), remains fundamentally flawed and ill-suited for a pluralistic society like Nigeria.

“We believe we can use this summit to achieve the making of a constitution that will serve this pluralistic country better.

The 1999 Constitution, however amended, cannot serve Nigeria well,” Anyaoku said.He argued passionately for the return to a truly federal constitution reminiscent of Nigeria’s early independence years (1960–1966), a period he recalled as one of more effective governance, regional progress, and national cohesion.

That federal system, he noted, allowed Nigeria to flourish before the advent of military rule.”
