Ekiti APDA Suspends State Chairman

Newly launched Advanced People’s Democratic Party (APDA) in Ekiti State has suspended its state chairman, Mrs. Foluke Okeya,
The decision to remove Okeya was reached at a meeting of members of the chapter’s State Working Committee held in Ado Ekiti on Sunday.
The meeting also appointed Tunde Agbabiaka, the Deputy Chairman, to act as the state chairman.
In a letter of her suspension, signed by 24 out of 30 members of the SWC, the party leaders accused Okeya of anti-party activities and highhandedness.
Other allegations raised against Okeya include abuse of office and conducting herself in a manner likely to cause disaffection among party members.
But when contacted,  the suspended state chairman dismissed the allegations, saying she was not aware of her suspension,
“I am not aware of the suspension because I have my appointment letter given to me by the national leadership of our party and not anyone of them.
“All the allegations are also false because there are  no evidence to buttress them.
“I am handling the issue maturely because I am a party leader. I will not follow them to misbehave. I don’t have skeletons in my cupboard.”she said.
