Following the alleged diversion of money meant for logistics of delegates during the last All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in Kwara State, the chairman of Moro Local Government’s chapter of the party, Adebayo Jimoh has been suspended from office.
Leading the other 16 members of APC executives in Moro Local Government, the public relations officer, Adebayo Saka announced the suspension of Jimoh at a press conference in Ilorin, the state capital on Friday.
Saka and his team also accused the suspended chairman of alleged anti-party activities.

According to him, the decision to suspend the chairman was taken after a meeting of the APC executives in the local government on Friday.

He warned that if the excesses of the embattled chairman was not checked, it will affect the re-election chances of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq’s in the 2023 general election.
“We have resolved that the chairman should step aside pending the outcome of the investigation. The deputy chairman shall take over the affairs of the part henceforth. We have set up a six-man committee to investigate the petition written against the chairman. The committee has three days to submit its report,” he explained.
