A media aide of Governor Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State, Tunde Oladunjoye, has reacted to his suspension by the All Progressives Congress in his Ijebu Itele Ward 7 in Ijebu East Local Government Area.
The reaction of the spokesman of the party in the state was contained in a statement he signed on Wednesday.
Oladunjoye said: “My attention has just been drawn to a certain joke being shared in the social media that I have been suspended by my ward in Ijebu Itele Ward Seven APC in Ijebu East LG; and that the Ward Chairman has been removed.
“The comedy is trending as expected since my name is attached.
“Nothing can be farther from the truth. One unstable Hon. Deko Onamusi, who runs a fake, unapproved mental home in Ijebu Itele is behind the dirty job.
“Over the years, my growing profile has been a source of immense worry , envy to him. This is someone who confessed openly that he worked against our party in the last elections.
“He is now back to the same shenanigans that he perpetrated five years ago, after decamping from PDP to APC (after the election of Prince Dapo Abiodun as Governor), which he escalated to the level of working against our party at the 2019 general elections.
“Onamusi gathered about 15 people including some mental patients in his uncertified extortionist mental home this evening and claimed that myself and the ward chairman have been suspended.
“I challenge Onamusi, whose middle name is controversy, to show pictures and video of the meeting along with the attendance register of the purported meeting.
“The concerned authorities should call these unstable elements to others and prevail on Deko Onamusi to stop bringing his mental patients to political ward meetings.

“The constitution of our party, APC, is clear on who qualifies to be a member of the party.
“Specifically, Section 11 sub-section 3, of the APC Constitution states that a person shall be qualified to be a member of the party if He/She has not been adjudged to be a lunatic or otherwise declared to be of unsound mind under any Law in force in any part of Nigeria.
“For the sake of civility and decency, Onamusi should be called to order.
“The Ward meeting of Ijebu Itele Ward 7 is on Fridays, bi-monthly, Onamusi should come and effect my suspension and removal of the Ward chairman, an unconstitutional action clearly; beyond his power.
“Enough said.”
