The party also suspended Mr. Ebenezer Alabi, who was the running mate of Mr. Jimoh Ibrahim.

But in a statement issued and signed by the State Publicity Secretary of PDP, Mr. Banji Okunomo, shortly after the party State Working Committee (SWC) meeting did not include Jimoh Ibrahim among those suspended.

The embattled party members were suspended due to their alleged anti-party activities in the just concluded November 26, governorship election in the state.

Others were, Dennis Alonge, Johnson Alabi, Dr. Olu Ogunye, Senator Meroyi, Mrs. Yemi Ajonibode, Musa Megida, Isaac Alase, Sola Ebiseni, Ademola Genty, Prof. Yemisi Akinyemiju and Dare Emiola.

The party said its decision was in line with Section 57 of the constitution of the party and the inherent task conferred on the State Working Committee of the party.

The statement reads, “by the virtue of the Court of Appeal judgment, Biyi Poroye did not only seize to be executive as he claimed, but they have also turned out to be ordinary members of the party.”

The party spokesman, Okunomo also said the suspended members are expected to appear before the disciplinary committee of the party on Monday December 5, 2016.
