Members of the All Progressives Congress, APCC, 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 contained in a letter addressed to the Osun State Chairman of the party, Tajudeen Lawal, and dated Thursday, January 29, 2026.
According to the document, “the suspension followed a meeting of ward executives, leaders and members who reportedly deliberated on issues said to be affecting unity and cohesion within the ward.”
The letter, jointly signed by 18 ward executives and five leaders, accused Oyintiloye of allegedly taking over an Executive Assistant, EA, slot and funds amounting to N5.6 million without authorisation.
The signatories claimed “the funds were originally allocated for ward leaders, alleging that Oyintiloye had already secured a personal EA slot through a third party while holding a federal appointment.”
They also alleged that the former lawmaker was “involved in activities capable of causing division within the ward, including the organisation of parallel meetings.”
In addition, the ward officials accused him of “prolonged absence from ward meetings and political activities for over three years.”
The letter further alleged a lack of financial or material contributions to ward activities despite benefiting from several political appointments.
It stated, “In view of the foregoing and his consistent lack of engagement and contributions to ward affairs, it has become necessary to take decisive disciplinary action.”
The ward leaders declared that, “Consequently, Hon. Bosun Oyintiloye is hereby suspended indefinitely from Ward One, Ibokun, and shall cease to represent the interests of the ward at any level.”
They, however, added that they remained open to intervention from party leaders, stressing that their priority was the unity and success of the APC ahead of future elections.
Reacting to the development, Oyintiloye described his alleged suspension by the chairman of Ward 01, Ibokun, Obokun Local Government Area, Gbenga Fagbamila, and 18 others as a ruse
The Ex-lawmaker said that those who signed the suspension letter were themselves suspended members of the APC working for the opposition in the state.
He said the allegations concerning the unauthorized takeover of the Executive Assistant (EA) slot and the accompanying funds amounting to N5.6 million were aimed solely at discrediting him.
Oyintiloye clarified that he was not in charge of the said EA and did not have access to the funds in question.
He added that he has reported the disgruntled members who issued the statement to the party leadership in the state, noting that they were only seeking cheap relevance.
He further stated that the alleged misconduct leveled against him was “a lie from the pit of hell,” adding that he has been a loyal and respectful member of the party since its inception.
“If they truly have the power to suspend me, why can’t they wait to do so through the proper party executive channels before going to the press?
“The same Gbenga Fagbamila, who was suspended from the party for embezzling N7.5 million meant for the 2022 election, is signing my alleged suspension letter alongside other disgruntled members.
“It is a real shame. If they are truly bona fide members of the party, let them appear before the party executives at the state level to defend the allegations leveled against me.
“The alleged suspension is a joke of the century,” he said
Oyintiloye said all the allegations in the letter were lies which cannot be substantiated.
He said he remained one of the most respected member of the party in the state and will continue to play is role a one of the strong pillar of APC in the state.
Oyintiloye clarified urged members of the public to discard his alleged suspension, adding that he will continue to remain loyal member of the party.
