Members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward 01, Ibokun, Obokun Local Government Area of Osun State, have announced the indefinite suspension of a former member of the State House of Assembly, Olatunbosun Oyintiloye, over alleged misconduct.

The decision was conveyed in a letter dated January 29, 2026, and addressed to the Osun APC Chairman, Tajudeen Lawal. The letter followed a meeting of ward executives, leaders and members who reportedly deliberated on issues affecting unity and cohesion within the ward.

Signed by 18 ward executives and five leaders, the document accused Oyintiloye of allegedly taking over an Executive Assistant (EA) slot and N5.6 million said to have been allocated for ward leaders, without authorisation. The signatories claimed that the former lawmaker had already secured a personal EA slot through a third party while holding a federal appointment.

They further alleged that Oyintiloye engaged in activities capable of creating division within the ward, including organising parallel political meetings, and accused him of staying away from ward meetings and political activities for more than three years. The ward officials also claimed he failed to make financial or material contributions to party activities despite benefiting from several political appointments.

“In view of his consistent lack of engagement and contributions to ward affairs, it has become necessary to take decisive disciplinary action,” the letter stated, adding that Oyintiloye should cease to represent the ward at any level.

The ward leadership, however, said it remained open to intervention from higher party authorities, stressing that its decision was aimed at protecting party unity ahead of future elections.

Reacting to the development, Oyintiloye dismissed the suspension as invalid, describing it as the handiwork of disgruntled and previously suspended party members. Speaking with DAILY POST, he alleged that those who signed the letter were not recognised party executives and were working for opposition interests in the state.

He denied all allegations, insisting that he neither controlled any EA slot nor had access to the N5.6 million mentioned.

“The allegations are false and meant to discredit me. I have reported the matter to the state party leadership. If they truly have the power to suspend me, they should follow the proper party channels instead of rushing to the media,” Oyintiloye said.

He maintained that he remains a loyal and respected APC member and urged the public to disregard what he described as a “purported suspension.”
