The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun has expelled 84 of its members for engaging in alleged anti-party activities.

Osun APC chairman, Sooko Lawal, said in a statement on Wednesday that the party’s decision followed allegations of misconduct leveled against the expelled members.

Lawal said the state executive took the decision following a comprehensive assessment of evidence and recommendations.

“Following complaints of anti-party activities, the State Executive Committee of the Osun State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) constituted a disciplinary committee to investigate the allegations against some members,” Lawal said.

“This disciplinary measure came in response to the allegations of misconduct and actions that embarrassed and brought the party to disrepute.

“The disciplinary committee undertook a thorough and impartial review of the allegations and the findings were carefully deliberated upon by the State Executive Committee.”

Lawal urged other members to remain focused on the ruling party’s goals and continue to work together to serve the interests of the state.

Also he stated that commitment to transparency, inclusivity, and adherence to APC’s core values remains unwavering.
