ADC Expels Hon. Adegeye Over Anti-Party Activities 


The African Democratic Congress (ADC) Amuwo Odofin LGA Chapter of Lagos State has announced the expulsion of Hon. George Adegeye, the House of Representatives member representing Amuwo-Odofin Federal Constituency, on account of anti-party moves, alleged insubordination and usurpation of the powers of duly recognised party structures.

In a letter jointly signed by the ADC exco led by its ward Chairman Hon. Ola Olajide, Secretary Hon. Faith Kelechi, the Women leader Hon. Wisdom Ajogu and eight other members, after its Emergency General Meeting held in Ward B, Festac Town, Lagos, the party frowned at what it regarded as a clear affront on its constitutional provisions by the HoR member.

The letter titled “Letter Of Expulsion Of Hon George Olawande AdeGeye From ADC”, cited clear unscrupulous moves of Hon.Adegeye against the party, to include: “That Hon. Adegeye has not formally joined the party, that he has been engaging in activities inimical to the smooth running of the LGA and ward levels.

“That he has not recognised the lawfully instituted leaderships of the party at the ward and LGA levels, thereby instigating insubordination and indiscipline within the party.

“That he has not met the 2026 Electoral Act (as amended) provision as it concerns the required duration for eligibility to vote and be voted for.

“Our records show that he filled out his membership Form on March 2, 2026 and submitted the same by proxy on March 12, 2026.

“That on Saturday, April 4, 2026, the HOR Member deceptively organised a party event without carrying along the legitimate party leadership at the ward and LGA levels, thereby exciting a crisis of confidence in leadership at both levels.”

The expulsion letter further highlighted the alleged anti-party moves of Adegeye.

“We also have it on good authority that the majority of those who attended the event were APC sympathisers, thus raising big suspicion as to which party Hon. Adegeye owes his loyalty–the ADC or the APC?

“That he literally hijacked the functions of the Lagos State Harmonisation Committee by single-handedly determining those whose names appeared on the Harmonised List, which led the properly constituted ADC Representatives to distance themselves from the fake list instigated by and sponsored by him.

“That he has sinister plans to replace properly constituted leadership of the party at both the ward and LGA levels.

“That these activities of Omogeye are viewed as anti-party activities, as clearly articulated in Article 22 of the Constitution of the African Democratic Congress(ADC).

“Consequent upon the afore-mentioned reasons, a voice vote of all members in attendance at the Emergency Meeting, hereby hold and validate the expulsion of Hon. George Adegeye from the party, and he stands expelled.”
