A disciplinary panel of a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has imposed a suspension on former Deputy National Chairman, Bode George, along with 23 other party members. The decision stems from what the panel described as actions detrimental to the party’s unity and interests.
The panel, led by Elder Kayode Ogunbiyi and Secretary Barrister Desmond Agbo, announced the suspension in a statement released on Friday. It explained that the action was taken after a thorough review of petitions alleging anti-party conduct and breaches of the PDP constitution.
During a meeting held on May 26, 2026, the committee examined several petitions against party leaders and members. It also revisited a prior disciplinary ruling by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) against Bode George, affirming that his earlier suspension remains in effect.
The statement noted that cases involving members accused of defecting to other political parties or engaging in unauthorized collaborations against the PDP were also considered. Among those suspended are Chief (Mrs.) Aduke Maina, Dr. Abimbola Ogunkelu, Mr. Laja Adeoye, Capt. Tunji Shele, Chief Sunday Olaifa, Mr. Gbenga Adegbesan, Hon. Rita Orji, H.E. Mrs. Kofoworola Bucknor, Chief (Mrs) Onikepo-Oshodi, and Mrs. Idera Sodipo.
Others affected include Prince Adedipe Dauda Ewenla, Hon. Bode Ogundipe, Hon. Aminu Suleiman, Dr. (Mrs.) Roli George, Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, Mr. Adeyemi Moyegun, Chief Taiwo Kuye, Mrs. Coker, Hon. Setonji Koshoedo, Alhaji Muritala Ashorobi, Mr. Dare, Dr. Amos Alabi Fawole, and Hon. Olumuyiwa Owodara Richard.
The committee declared that all suspended members are barred from participating in any PDP activities in Lagos State and cannot represent the party in any capacity. It further warned that legal action may be taken against any of the suspended individuals who continue to act contrary to the party’s interests.
“Our committee has recommended strict legal procedures be instituted against any of the suspended persons who continue to act contrary to the interests of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State,” the statement added.
