The Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ogun State, Semiu Sodipo, has been suspended by the party for attending a peace meeting held in Abuja.
The leaders of the party in the state also dissociated themselves from the meeting organised by the National Chairman of the party, Uche Secondus, with some members of the party from the two factions in the state.
The meeting, which was said to have been held to unite the two factions in the state led by Bayo Dayo and Sikirulahi Ogundele, who were loyal to a former senator representing Ogun East, Buruji Kashamu, and a former member of the House of Representatives from Remo-North federal constituency, Oladipupo Adebutu took place at the PDP national secretariat on Wednesday.

Addressing newsmen on Thursday at the party secretariat in Abeokuta, the chairman of the Kashamu faction of the party, Bayo Dayo, noted that the leadership of the party knew nothing about the peace meeting.
“Sunday Odunjo among others that were taken to Abuja are not our members, they have all resigned except Semiu Sodipo who was our secretary before his suspension.
“For the meeting held in Abuja, we are not part of it. Our former secretary who was present there had been suspended before now but we have been tackling that in-house and that is why we haven’t told you people.
“They are aware of what is happening and if care is not taken, they will be taken to court for contempt of court at the end of the day.”
