Crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party in Ogun State on Monday, took another dimension as a governorship aspirant of the party, Jimi Lawal, was suspended for allegedly conducting and participating in an 'illegal' governorship primary election.
It was gathered that, following the expiration of the 14-day ultimatum, the faction of Lawal staged a factional governorship primary election at an undisclosed location in Abeokuta, the state capital on Monday.
Solarin said, “All of these shenanigans will be put to bed and we have resolved that the principal actors of the illegal primary election will be exposed. They have been found to have transgressed the laws of the party and their punishment will be given. “We have also resolved today that Otunba Jimi Lawal, is also going to be on suspension with immediate effect because he participated actively in a congress not conducted by the state executives of the party, an action which has been found to bring the party into disrepute.
“Because PDP is a house that believes in the rule of law, it is a house built by our forefathers, managed by all of us we are not going to open our eyes and allow some dissidence to destroy the house and therefore we must tow the path of discipline by showing them the way.
