Nigeria - The crisis in Ekiti state chapter of the PDP took a new turn on Friday as about 50 policemen were deployed to the party's state secretariat to protect lives and properties.
Armed policemen numbering 50, one Armoured Personnel Carrier and operational vehicles were deployed in the Secretariat to prevent attack from the aggrieved members of the State Working Committee, perceived to be working against the interest of the governor.
The State Executive Committee at its meeting presided over by the Acting Chairman, Idowu Faleye, suspended the factional Acting Chairman, Mr. Tunde Olatunde; State Secretary, Tope Aluko; Auditor, Tunji Olanrewaju; Woman Leader, Busola Oyebode and Assistant Secretary, Mr Femi Esan.
The SEC at its Friday meeting also set up a seven-member disciplinary committee to try the suspended members for anti-party activities.
But speaking earlier at a press briefing, Aluko, who appeared to have got wind of the plot to suspend them, said Faleye remained suspended and lacked powers to preside over any SEC meeting having resigned on May 13.
