The All Progressive Congress (APC) has suspended Senator Jimoh Ibrahim, the Lawmaker representing the good people of Ondo South Senatorial District of Ondo State at the National Assembly.
He was suspended for anti party activities by some members of the ward executives of the party at Igbotako ward 2, in Okitipupa Local Government of Ondo State.
The Executives of the Igbotako Ward II, in a letter after the end of their meeting, suspended the Senator for his actions and activities, which they said, violated the party’s Constitution.
They also cited that the suit instituted by Jimoh against the APC, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, as well as his involvement in anti-party activities influenced their decision to suspend the Senator from the party.
