The Ogun state Labour Party, on Thursday, expelled the Director General of the party’s Presidential Campaign Council, Doyin Okupe, over alleged non-financial membership status, high-handedness and financial recklessness.
Okupe who was accused of breaching the party’s constitution was expelled along 10 others members accused of breaching
The state chairman of the party, Michael Ashade, flanked by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Abayomi Arabambi, and the State Secretary, Feyisola Michael, said Okupe ceased to be the party member after his failure to meet the mandatory constitutional requirements to fulfill membership status.
He said Okupe, having failed in the payment of his membership dues for the last six months of joining the party, has forfeited his membership of the party and is no longer fit and competent to continue to act as the DG of the Presidential Campaign Council.
Ashade said Okupe and 10 others have run afoul of the article 9(3) sub(iii) and Article 9(3)xi the LP constitution and thereby, ceased to be party members.
The party chairman also accused him of financial recklessness with respect to funds approved for the Ogun LP state on the mobilisation of members for the Oyo State rally held last week at Ibadan.
Also speaking, Arabambi asked Obi to desist from relating with Okupe as the PCC DG.
He threatened that the party in the state would enforce the dismissal of Okupe and others by all lawful means.
