“The state working committee members still maintained their ground on the suspension issue of the south west chairman of the party, Mr. Oyeniyi Olatunji, I was briefed that the action of the south west chairman is not acceptable to them, because he has violated a standing rule of the party through his action by revealing the internal memo of the party to the general public without duly consultation.”
