Ekiti PDP Inaugurates Panel to Probe  Suspended Lawmaker

By Victor Ogunje in Ado Ekiti

For allegedly hobnobbing with opposition figures and those perceived to be adversaries to the Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the state has inaugurated a probe panel to try the suspended member of the state House of Assembly, Hon. Gboyega Aribisogan, for alleged disloyalty.

Aribisogan, representing Ikole Constituency 1, was suspended last

year October by Hon. Kola Oluwawole-led assembly for allegedly holding nocturnal meetings with those they branded as ‘enemies of Governor Fayose’.

The lawmaker had however described the suspension as a clear case of political victimisation while also denying the accusation that he was hobnobbing with the governor’s arch enemies.

Inaugurating the panel on Monday, the party’s factional chairman

Gboyega Oguntuase told the panel to give the beleaguered lawmaker a

fair hearing.

The panel is chaired by a commissioner in Fayose’s cabinet, Hon. Michael Ayodele, and has as members Dapo Olagunju (Secretary), Bisi Kolawole, Tolulope Awoniyi and Olayinka Olomofe.
