The internal crisis rocking the Labour Party, seen as a major contending force in Nigeria's 2023 general elections, took a different dimension on Friday after the Party held an emergency National Working Committee (NWC) meeting in Abuja.
An insider source told africafirstnews.com that the emergency meeting was summoned to specifically address the deepening internal leadership crisis in Ogun State which was fast assuming a national dimension.
It was gathered that the Ogun State Chairman of the Party, Michael Ashade was suspended indefinitely, while the entire State Executive council was dissolved.
The NWC equally relieved the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Abayomi Olufemi Arabambi who also hails from Ogun State, of his position.
The Labour Party National Secretary, Umar Farouk who addressed Journalists after the meeting, said the Ogun State Chairmen was suspended over alleged anti party activities.
In the past week, the Ogun State chapter of the Labour Party had been embroiled with crisis resulting in the expulsion of the Director General of the Party's Presidential Campaign Council, Dr. Doyin Okupe which triggered other counter actions.
