Breaking: Oyo NDC Removes State Chairman, Names Akeem Aderogba Replacement Amid Leadership Crisis
The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) in Oyo State has announced the removal of its state chairman, Princess Oyeronke Bolajoko, naming Akeem Aderogba as her replacement amid growing internal disagreements within the party.
The decision was announced on Monday at a press conference held at the party’s state secretariat in Ibadan by the party’s State Secretary, Adeolu Adewuyi, who spoke on behalf of other executives, aspirants and members.
Adewuyi said the decision was taken to protect the party’s unity, internal democracy and constitutional integrity, insisting that it was not motivated by personal animosity or political vendetta.
He accused Bolajoko of allegedly suspending principal executives of the party without following due process or granting them a fair hearing, describing the action as a violation of the party’s constitution.
The party also accused the former chairman of abuse of office, administrative high-handedness and lack of transparency in the management of its affairs and resources.
Following the announcement, the NDC Campaign Director-General in Oyo State, Adeola Ebisemiju-Olamide, formally announced Akeem Aderogba as the new state chairman.
The group called on the party’s national leadership to intervene, investigate the allegations and take appropriate constitutional measures to address the leadership dispute.
However, efforts to reach Bolajoko for her reaction were unsuccessful, as calls to her telephone number were reportedly unanswered.
The development comes amid growing political activities and preparations ahead of the 2027 general elections.
