OMOILU DISOWNS KUKOYI, EGBEYEMI

...SUSPENDS JIGAN TAIWO INDEFINITELY


The leadership of Omo Ilu Foundation in Ogun State has disowned and dissociated itself from some individuals, parading themselves as leaders of its group within the PDP in the state.

The group, in a stakeholders' meeting held on Sunday at its headquarters in Ijebu Igbo, said the duo of Messrs Ola Kukoyi (a.k.a Kosigiri) and Seni Egbeyemi, have never been members of the group.

It warned them to desist from parading themselves as such or risk facing the full wrath of the law.

Speaking at the meeting, the State Coordinator of Omo Ilu Foundation in Ogun State, Prince Leke Shittu, said, "My attention has been drawn to the fact that some political jobbers, in thier wishful thinking have been parading themselves as leaders of Omo Ilu group. First and foremost, one who is not a member of this group can not rise to its leadership rank. Hence, it is absolute stupidity for those who are not even members of this group to lay claim to its leadership.

"Unknown to the impostors, Omoilu is a registered entity with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC). Therefore, it is an absolute stupidity for those who were at no point part of what we have been doing in Omoilu for over a decade to start laying claim to its leadership. He maintained that Omo Ilu is one and that anyone who is willing to be a member should go through the normal procedure.

"I appointed Hon. Jigan Taiwo as the Ogun East senatorial chairman of this group but now that he has connived with some non-members to start parading himself as the State Coordinator, he is definitely an impostor. We will take all necessary steps administratively and within the ambit of the law to deal with this issue."

A delegate to the meeting from Odogbolu Local Government Area, Hon. Bola Odumosu (a.k.a Oko Opo), moved a motion that the group should suspend Taiwo and disown both Kukoyi and Egbeyemi.

The motion was seconded by Mr. Peter Ige from Yewa North Local Government Area.

The meeting through a voice vote overwhelming adopted the "indefinite suspension" of Taiwo as the senatorial chairman of the group in Ogun east "until he purges himself of his acts of insubordination and indiscipline".

Present at the meeting were Prince Shittu, Barr. Taiwo Shote, Asiwaju Adesina, Chief Kehinde Oladehinde, Hon. Kola Akinyemi, Mrs. Nike Ejioye, among others.

This group has lost relevance since senator Kashamu's death.
