ADC Ward B Expels Rep. George Adegeye Over Alleged Anti-Party Activities In Amuwo-Odofin.

In a letter addressed to the ADC Chairman in Amuwo-Odofin LGA, Hon. Clifford Agugoesi, Ward B members stated that Adegeye had not formally joined the party and had allegedly undermined the party’s leadership structure at both ward and local government levels.
According to the statement, members also alleged that the lawmaker submitted his membership form in March 2026, which they argued did not meet the eligibility requirements under the 2026 Electoral Act for participation in party activities.
The ward leadership further accused Adegeye of organizing a party event on April 4, 2026, without consulting recognized party leaders.
The meeting, they claimed, created tension within the party and raised questions about his political loyalty, alleging that many attendees were sympathisers of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Ward B members also alleged that Adegeye interfered with the work of the Lagos State Harmonization Committee by allegedly determining names that appeared on a harmonised list without proper authorization, prompting recognized party representatives to distance themselves from the document.
The statement further accused the lawmaker of attempting to replace duly constituted leadership at ward and local government levels, describing the actions as violations of Article 22 of the ADC Constitution.
Following deliberations, Ward B members conducted a voice vote and unanimously endorsed Adegeye’s expulsion from the party.
The resolution was signed by Ward Chairman Hon. Ola Olajide, Ward Secretary Hon. Faith Kelechi Oluoma, Women Leader Hon. Wisdom Ajogu.
