The Peoples Democratic Party in Ajue Ward of Odigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State has suspended Engr Rapheal Ademulegun, a Senatorial Aspirant of the PDP from Ondo South Senatorial District.
Starnews Nigeria reports that Ademulegun was suspended on Tuesday by the PDP ward executives and stakeholders in his Ajue ward.
The notification letter of Ademulegun’s suspension was addressed to Hon Fatai Adams, the State Chairman of the PDP in Ondo State.
The party raised several allegations of misconduct against him which they said was unbecoming of a party man.
They also alleged that several warning letters have been issued to him without repentance.
The notification of Ademulegun’s suspension letter as addressed to the state chairman reads:
“The Esteem Honourable chairman of our great party (PDP), we bring greetings from the good people of Ajue PDP to you and your entire executives. Following the distabilising activities of Engr. Raphael Ademulegun and his supporters in Ajue Ward PDP, we would like to bring your attention to the various activities being perpetrated by Engr. Ademulegun Raphael, a self-acclaimed Leader of PDP Ajue Ward.”
“Since his arrival to PDP, there is no peace in the party in Ajue ward. His actions and inactions have contributed to the refusal of prominent politicians in Ajue Ward to join PDP. He believes he is all in all. In recent times, he always plays politics of self-centeredness and always bar our party members to have interaction with prominent politicians in the local government in particular and the state in general.”
“We observed that his self-centeredness has bought a lot of non-recognition of Ajue Ward people in the politics of Odigbo Local government. When he was the Director-General of Hon. Banji Okunomo campaign organization in the build-up to the gubernatorial primary election in Ondo State, he barred our party members from working for other aspirants and finally, we failed.”
“In addition, he usurped the power of the ward chairman to perform his legitimate functions in the ward as he always use his power to organize and convene irregular meetings.”
“In addition with his selfish interest, he barred party members from recognizing and welcoming any party leader and Aspirants into Ajue Ward. Any member or members who may have a contrary opinion to his selfish and inordinate ambition always receive condemnation from him and his supporters.”
“He unilaterally ordered the suspension of the ward chairman, the ward deputy chairman and the local government secretary from the ward and immediate replacement of the executives with his sole planning and execution”.
“On this note, we, the loyal and law-abiding part members in Ajue ward are tired of his leadership style and we hereby pass a vote of no confidence in his leadership and suspend him from our party in the ward.”
“This would enable our party to move forward and particularly this time when new members are eager to join our party”, the letter added.
Our effort to speak with Ademulegun was in vain as he did not answer the phone calls put across to him by our correspondent.
