The National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has barred the lawmaker
representing Ondo-Central senatorial district, Senator Tayo Alasoadura,
from attending South-West caucus meetings, punch correspondent has learnt.
It was learnt that the senator was
ostracised for allegedly working against the interest of the party’s
South-West leadership and for taking sides with Senate President Bukola
Saraki.
Alasoadura was also among the senators that followed Saraki to the Code of Conduct Tribunal in solidarity on Tuesday.
A reliable source within the party told
our correspondent that Alasoadura had been sidelined from all APC
South-West meetings for his disloyalty to Tinubu.
The
source said, “Alasoadura was a Commissioner for Finance under the late
Dr. Olusegun Agagu for over five years. He later defected from the
Peoples Democratic Party to the Action Congress of Nigeria. Tinubu
accepted him and appointed him the Director-General of the Rotimi
Akeredolu governorship campaign organisation in 2013.
“Alasoadura was not even supposed to have
emerged the senatorial candidate of the APC in the last election but
the party favoured him. However, when he got to the Senate, he returned
to his PDP family and started working against the party. He also
supported Saraki against the interest of the party.
“When Tinubu convened a South-West
meeting in Abuja during the height of the National Assembly crisis,
Alasoadura came. However, Tinubu walked him out of the meeting and told
his orderly to ensure that the senator was escorted off the premises.
“Tinubu also warned senators present to
ensure that sensitive issues were not discussed in the presence of
Alasoadura as he was an enemy within.”
Two days after the faceoff with Tinubu,
however, the Ondo State senator issued a statement wherein he pledged
his loyalty to the party and denied supporting Saraki.
Alasoadura said he was only working in the best interest of his constituents.
An APC leader, who spoke to our
correspondent on the condition of anonymity, however, said that the fact
that Alasoadura accompanied Saraki to the Code of Conduct Tribunal in
solidarity on Tuesday, confirmed their suspicions.
He said the party would ensure that he remained irrelevant in the APC.
