Crisis rocks Lagos AD as Avasi, stakeholders disagree over sack of Chairman

CRISIS appears to have rocked the Lagos State chapter of Alliance for Democracy (AD) as the party, through a communiqué read by its National Publicity Secretary, Ms Olayinka Nola, announced the suspension of Mr Kolawole Ajayi, its chairman in the state replacing him with Rev. Otti, in an acting capacity.

In the communique read by Nola at the end of an emergency general congress of the party in Lagos on Tuesday night, Ajayi’s suspension was based on allegation of engaging in acts of indiscipline and gross misconduct in the management of the party’s affairs, saying the decision forms the outcome of the work of a disciplinary committee that was put in place to investigate the allegations against the embattled chairman.

But reacting in a telephone chat with the Sunday Tribune, National Chairman of AD, Chief Joseph Avasi, said the status quo remained, declaring that nobody had been suspended, even as he stated the procedures for suspending officers of the party.
