Labour Party removes spokesman, sacks Ogun excos
This was revealed to journalists by National Secretary Umar Farouk on Friday in Abuja. He said that the decision was made during the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) meeting.
Other resolutions, according to Mr. Farouk, were approved at the meeting.
A disciplinary committee has been established to look into his suspected anti-party activity as a member of the party, he continued.
According to the party scribe, a caretaker committee would be constituted to oversee the party’s operations in Ogun State while additional recommendations were being made.
He said: “We appointed Arabambi to act as the publicity secretary of the party, he has not been expelled from the party.
“However, as a member of the party, a disciplinary committee will investigate his activities.
“This is based on his actions that have come out in the public for taking the party and its candidate to court to challenge a favourable judgement that the party and the candidates in Lagos and other places have received.
“That kind of action is actually viewed as anti-party activity and he has compromised his position as the spokesperson of the party and hence can never be trusted to speak on behalf of the party.’’
Mr Farouk said that the NWC has called on the party members to adhere strictly to the provision of its constitution and the code of conduct of the party.
He also called on the public to have more confidence in the party, adding that its leadership was working to ensure that they were not distracted.
Mr Farouk urged: “We are calling on the public to disregard any negative information being spread by some disgruntled elements.”
