The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State has suspended a former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Bode George, and 23 other members over alleged anti-party activities. The suspension was announced by a factional disciplinary committee of the party in the state.
This was contained in a statement issued by the committee’s chairman, Elder Kayode Ogunbiyi and secretary, Barrister Desmond Agbo on Friday.
The committee said the action became necessary after what it called repeated conduct that could cause disaffection within the party.
The committee said the resolution was taken at a meeting on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, where petitions against some party leaders and members bordering on anti-party activities and violations of the PDP constitution were considered.
The committee also disclosed that it reviewed the party’s previous disciplinary action against Chief Olabode George by the party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, adding that he is still suspended as earlier pronounced.
It said it also considered cases involving members accused of defecting to other political parties or engaging in unauthorised collaborations against the PDP.
Those affected by the suspension include Chief (Mrs.) Aduke Maina, Dr. Abimbola Ogunkelu, Mr. Laja Adeoye, Capt. Tunji Shele, Chief Sunday Olaifa, Mr. Gbenga Adegbesan, Hon. Rita Orji, H.E. Mrs. Kofoworola Bucknor, Chief (Mrs) Onikepo-Oshodi and Mrs. Idera Sodipo.
Others are Prince Adedipe Dauda Ewenla, Hon. Bode Ogundipe, Hon. Aminu Suleiman, Dr. (Mrs.) Roli George, Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, Mr. Adeyemi Moyegun, Chief Taiwo Kuye, Mrs. Coker, Hon. Setonji Koshoedo, Alhaji Muritala Ashorobi, Mr. Dare, Dr. Amos Alabi Fawole and Hon. Olumuyiwa Owodara Richard.
“The disciplinary committee further stated that all affected members are barred from participating in any PDP activities in Lagos State and can no longer represent the party in any capacity.
It also warned of legal action against any of the suspended members if they continued to act in a manner contrary to the interests of the party.
“Our committee has recommended strict legal procedures be instituted against any of the suspended persons who continue to act contrary to the interest of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State,” the statement added.
