The Ondo State All Progressives Congress, APC, has sacked its Chairman, Isaac Kekemeke, a core loyalist to the National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu.
Kekemeke, was said to have supported Dr Segun Abraham, a candidate also favoured by Tinubu, against Governor Akeredolu, an action some said his party members were yet to forgive him for, and which may have led to him being booted out.
His removal came following a vote of no confidence passed on him by the State Executive Committee, SEC, of the APC.
After his removal the SEC directed the Deputy State Chairman, Ade Adetimehin, to step in. The party’s Publicity Secretary, Abayomi Adesanya, said: “failing to discharge his responsibilities, neglect and dereliction of duty, among other offences in compliance with Article 21(D)(vi), of the Constitution of the APC, (October 2014 as amended) ,” landed Kekemeke in his present predicament.
“A three-man fact-finding Disciplinary Committee, has been set up to investigate the former Chairman”, he added.
According to him, Ade Adetimehin, has unanimously been chosen to act as the State Party Chairman forthwith, pending the outcome of report of the three-man Disciplinary Committee.
