EKO HOT BLOG reports that according to a statement issued by the party’s newly constituted caretaker committee, the suspension also affects all members of Ekong’s former state working committee. The statement, signed by the committee’s chairman, Rotimi Odunaike, and secretary, Dorcas Omorodio, said the move was necessary to restore discipline and constitutional order within the party’s operations in Lagos.

“The former state Chairman of the party, Pastor (Mrs) Dayo Ekong, is hereby suspended for six months for gross misconduct and breach of the constitution of the party by holding the offices of the state chairman and national financial secretary at the same time,” the statement read.

Odunaike further declared that every member of the ousted state executive had also been suspended for six months due to failure to uphold party principles and involvement in activities deemed to be against the party’s interests.

“Every member of the erstwhile state executive committee is suspended for six months for failure to uphold the constitution of the party and for anti-party activities,” the statement added.

In addition to the suspensions, the caretaker committee announced the immediate dissolution of all local government and ward executive committees appointed by Ekong’s leadership. These officials were also placed on six-month suspension.

“All the Local Government and Ward Executive Committees in Lagos State appointed by the Pastor (Mrs) Dayo Ekong-led Exco are hereby dissolved and their members suspended for six months for anti-party activities, with immediate effect,” Odunaike stated.
