A chieftain of the People's Democratic Party (PDP) in Odigbo local government area of Ondo State, Engr. Raphael Ademulegun has described his purported suspension from the party as a ruse that will not see the light of the day.
Ademulegun, a former chairman of Odigbo local government and a Special Adviser to former Governor Olusegun Mimiko on project monitoring, said he was not sure of the said suspension.
According to him, “I am not sure. There is a structure in the party. There is a way things are done in the party, suspension of any party member must follow a due process"
Reacting to an online report alledgedly sponsored by some factions of the party in the local government, the Ondo south senatorial district aspirant said his failure to be an errand boy to some political office holders in the party prompted the said faction to plan the purported suspension.
While pledging his continuous loyalty to the PDP, Ademulegun denied if he received any letter. Said " I am not a nobody in the party. So I cannot be expected to honour such a faceless faction.
“Who are they? what is their pedigree? If a group of rascals wrote a message on a social media, how can they expect me to give any thought to such. Let those signed the letter show face and levy allegations,” Ademulegun said.
The Odigbo local government chapter had on Wednesday 7th of December, 2021, slammed Ademulegun suspension from the party over allegation they tagged as anti party activities.
The party in the letter posted in one of the its social media platform, addressed to the Chairman of the party in Ondo State and copied the chairman of the party in the local government, Mr Sunday Falolu, his deputy, Hon. Tola Alabere and the Southern Senatorial Chairman, Elder Fatope Amos.
The letter titled: Suspension of Engr. Ralphael Ademulegun, accused him of playing politics of self-centered and barred other party members to have interaction with prominent politicians in the council and the state in general.
The letter was signed by the ward Chairman, Mr Amusa Adejumola and other 21 executive members, excluding the secretary and the Women Leader, Mrs Omoeseke Akinkuotu and Ade Adefiiju respectively.
Ademulegun had on the 5th of October 2021 declared his intention to contest for the Ondo south senatorial district in the 2023 general elections.
He had since embarked on the sensitisation of party members across the six local governments within the senatorial district and unfolding his manifesto.
