PDP faction suspends Bode George over alleged anti‑party activities.

The disciplinary committee of a Lagos State faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suspended former Deputy National Chairman Bode George and 23 other members for alleged anti‑party activities.

Committee chairman Elder Kayode Ogunbiyi and secretary Barrister Desmond Agbo issued the statement on Friday.

The committee said the action was necessary after what it described as repeated conduct that could cause disaffection within the party.

It added that the resolution was adopted at a meeting on Tuesday, 26 May 2026, where petitions against several party leaders and members were reviewed, focusing on allegations bordering on anti‑party activities and violations of the PDP constitution.

The committee also noted that it had revisited earlier disciplinary action taken against Chief Olabode George by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), confirming that he remains suspended as previously pronounced.

Cases involving members accused of defecting to other political parties or engaging in unauthorised collaborations against the PDP were likewise considered.

Among those suspended are Chief (Mrs.) Aduke Maina, Dr. Abimbola Ogunkelu, Mr. Laja Adeoye, Capt. Tunji Shele, Chief Sunday Olaifa, Mr. Gbenga Adegbesan, Hon. Rita Orji, H.E. Mrs. Kofoworola Bucknor, Chief (Mrs) Onikepo‑Oshodi, and Mrs. Idera Sodipo.

Others include Prince Adedipe Dauda Ewenla, Hon. Bode Ogundipe, Hon. Aminu Suleiman, Dr. (Mrs.) Roli George, Dr. Adetokunbo Pearse, Mr. Adeyemi Moyegun, Chief Taiwo Kuye, Mrs. Coker, Hon. Setonji Koshoedo, Alhaji Muritala Ashorobi, Mr. Dare, Dr. Amos Alabi Fawole, and Hon. Olumuyiwa Owodara Richard.

The committee stated that all affected members are barred from participating in any PDP activities in Lagos State and can no longer represent the party in any capacity.

It warned that legal action could be taken against any suspended member who continues to act contrary to the party’s interests.

“Our committee has recommended strict legal procedures be instituted against any of the suspended persons who continue to act contrary to the interests of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Lagos State,” the statement added.
