The Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP) on Friday expelled one of the gubernatorial aspirants in Osun 2022 election, Prince Dotun Babayemi, from the party over alleged anti-party activities.
The PDP, Otun Balogun Ward 2, Ayedaade Local Government Area of Osun State announced the expel in a press conference.
It stated that the expulsion followed the recommendation of the party’s disciplinary committee.
The party said, “Recall also that the Osun State PDP Governorship primaries were held on March 8th, 2022 at Osogbo Township Stadium under the supervision of the Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, as directed by the National Working Committee of PDP, statutorily monitored by INEC from Abuja and Osun State offices. Whereas Senator Ademola Adeleke duly and physically attended the primaries, Prince Dotun Babayemi chose not to attend but organized a parallel primary elsewhere at the WOCDIF Events Centre, Osogbo, unknown to, and without the authority of the National Working Committee of the PDP.
“Since then, Prince Babayemi had engaged in several legal actions against the party and a series of other anti-party activities. While he had lost his court cases at the Federal High Court and the Court of Appeal, he has again instituted legal action against the party at the Supreme Court.
