The Executive Committee of the Party in Mushin Local
Government has upheld the decision to suspend the National Legal Adviser, Dr
Muiz Banire from the All Progressives Congress APC as recommended by his ward
(Ward C, Ilasamaja, Mushin) citing various anti party activities perpetrated by
the embattled Legal Adviser.
According to the Acting Secretary of the Ward, HON.
Taofeek Ajani-Balogun, the decision to suspend Banire from the Party was
reached during the ward meeting held to review the last Local Government
Elections in the Ward. “After a critical assessment of individual activities
and the performance of the Party during the last elections, members of the
party in Ward C, Ilasamaja Mushin unanimously voted for the immediate
suspension of Mr Muiz Banire from participating in Party Activities in the Ward
and his removal from office as national Legal Adviser.
Speaking further, HON Ajani- Balogun said the meeting
resolved to suspend the Ward and LGA Chairmen and EXCO due to the poor results
recorded in the last elections and has forwarded the ward’s decision to the LGA
for further deliberations and recommendations to the State Chapter, he said.
Also, the acting Party LGA Chairman (Mushin), Mr Sola
Osobajo confirmed that during the last LGA meeting, the Party received and
reviewed minutes of meeting from Ward C and considered the decisions contained
therein.
He said, “after receiving the minutes of the Ward C
meeting, concerned and committed members of our great Party, APC in Mushin
Local Government Party members deliberated on the resolutions of the ward
meeting and having carefully considered the decision of Ward C EXCO we decided
to adopt the resolution for further necessary action at the State and National
level. The Party EXCO in Mushin Local Government further recommended to the
State Chapter the expulsion of Mr Muiz Banire from the party, he said.
It would be recalled that leaders and members of All
Progressives Congress APC, last Tuesday
(11th July) held a peaceful protest to demand for the expulsion of the National
Legal Adviser of the Party, Mr Muiz Banire SAN from the Party based on his
anti-Party activities and in accordance with ARTICLE 21 of the constitution of
the Party.
Some of the grounds for the request are, alleged
anti-Party activities such as causing a Legal Representative to disavow the
Party in a Law suit before the elections and working towards the electoral
failure of the Party.
Other anti-party activities which Banire was accused of
before and during the last local Government elections include; Inciting the
public against the interest of the Party; Falsely accusing the Party of
imposition in public thereby bringing the Party into disrepute; Disobeying and
causing others to disobey lawful directives of the Party Causing disaffection
within the Party.
The party also accused Banire of causing his supporters
to disrupt the peaceful process of efficient organisation of the Party,
particularly in respect of the campaigns of candidates of the Party and causing
fear and apprehension among Party loyalists during the elections.
