A factional disciplinary committee of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State has announced the suspension of former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Chief Bode George, alongside 23 other members over allegations of anti-party activities.
The decision was disclosed in a statement jointly signed on Friday by the committee’s chairman, Elder Kayode Ogunbiyi, and secretary, Barrister Desmond Agbo.
According to the committee, the suspensions followed what it described as persistent actions capable of creating division and disaffection within the party structure in the state.
The statement explained that the resolution was reached during a disciplinary committee meeting held on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, where several petitions against party leaders and members were reviewed, according to Daily Post.
The allegations reportedly centred on anti-party conduct and breaches of the PDP constitution.
The committee further stated that it revisited an earlier disciplinary measure taken against Chief Olabode George by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), maintaining that his suspension remains valid and effective.
It also disclosed that cases involving members accused of defecting to rival political parties or engaging in unauthorised political alliances against the PDP were examined during the meeting.
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 listed 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 disciplinary committee declared that all affected individuals are prohibited from taking part in any PDP activities within Lagos State and are no longer permitted to represent the party in any official capacity.
It further warned that additional legal measures could be pursued against any suspended member found acting against the interests of the party despite the sanctions.
“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.
