Akeredolu reacts to suspension by APC

The governor of Ondo State Rotimi Akeredolu has vehemently denied being suspended by his party, the All Progressive Congress (APC).

According to him, he was neither issued a query as claimed by the party leadership nor has he received any letter to that effect.

Akeredolu in a terse SMS told Independent newspaper on Saturday: “I have not received any letter be it query or suspension. Thanks”.

Recall that a statement issued by APC spokesman, Lanre Issa-Onilu at the time said the National Working Committee would also issue a query to Governor Akeredolu over his glaring anti-party activities.

Last month, the NWC suspended Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State and Rochas Okorocha, of Imo State for anti-party activities.

The decision was reached at an NWC meeting in Abuja in March.

The committee also recommended the governors’ expulsion from the party.
