Gboyega Aribisogan, a lawmaker
representing Ikole 1 in Ekiti state has been suspended for 180 legislative
days for alleged anti-party activities.

Aribisogan has been accused of working
against Fayose’s government with other
subversive elements in the PDP and outside
of the party

– Aribisogan has denied the allegations but
the assembly has maintained that he was
involved in anti-party activities
Governor Ayodele Fayose.

Just days after the House of Representatives
suspended Kano lawmaker Abdulmumin
Jibrin, another lawmaker has also received
the same treatment in Ekiti state.
Punch reports that Ekiti state house of
assembly on Thursday, October 6 suspended
Gboyega Aribisogan, a lawmaker
representing Ikole 1, for 180 legislative days
for alleged anti-party activities.

Aribisogan, the Chairman, House Committee
on Information in the assembly had been
accused of ganging up with those opposed
to Governor Ayodele Fayose within the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and beyond
to derail his administration.
Although he had denied the allegations on
several occasions, the state assembly has
found him guilty.
“Let me put on record here that except the
time I accompanied Governor Fayose to visit
Buruji in 2014 and recently when I met him
in company of the governor, I never had any
personal dealing with him.
“For Falana and Ojudu, I have been a major
critic of their roles in Ekiti project and they
can never in their wildest imaginations
invite me to any clandestine meeting and
they are all alive to corroborate or deny the
claims.
“I am a steadfast and major critical
stakeholder in Fayose’s emergence as
Governor of Ekiti right from the primaries to
the governmental level. I have repeatedly
spoken about by absolute belief and
commitment in the government of Fayose
and its policies, even at most difficult times
and I can’t be a sellout at this time when the
battle is presumed to have been won.
“On the other side, a particular lawmaker in
the house was plotting to undermine Ikole
constituency in the 2019 elections and he
was behind the gossip , blackmail and
intrigues in the House to cause a serious rift
between me and Mr Governor.
“I hereby want to reiterate and reaffirm my
commitment and loyalty to his excellency,
Governor Fayose and the government of
Ekiti State,” Aribisogan said in his defence at
a press conference on Friday, October 1.
Meanwhile, Governor Ayo Fayose has been
deprived of possibility of using the two
private accounts of in Zenith Bank till
November 7.
Recall that the governor is suing the EFCC for
blocking his accounts since June. The anti-
graft agency has brought Fayose before a
court on fraud charges.
