The Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State has announced the expulsion of Dotun Babayemi after the Supreme Court judgment.
Babayemi expulsion from the party follows the apex court ruling that affirmed Ademola Adeleke as the party’s rightful candidate in the gubernatorial primary election.
Babayemi had sought the court’s intervention in appealing against the PDP gubernatorial primary election which produced Adeleke.
All overtures and entreaties from the party’s hierarchy to Babayemi to drop the litigation fell on deaf hear.
However, the party has praised the judiciary for living up to its expectation as the house of justice.
In a press statement signed by Adekunle Akindele, the Osun PDP caretaker chairman on Thursday in Osogbo, the party disclosed that Babayemi had since ceased to be a member of the PDP.
The party also warned against any accommodation of the expelled politician in PDP matters.
The statement added that “As we are rejoicing, we must note very strongly that a mole among us who was an active agent of the APC had since lost his membership of PDP. No organ or affiliates of the party should accommodate him or his agenda again within this party.
“Any member of the party who continues to romance the expelled member risks being charged with anti-party activities and may face appropriate sanctions. We must get rid of fifth columnists by descending heavily on them. We must uproot them and cut down their branches”, the party Chairman stated
