Ondo APC disciplines ward chairman for alleged assault on Female Commissioner

The All Progressives Congress in Ondo State is to discipline a ward chairman who allegedly assaulted the state commissioner for women affairs, Bunmi Orisadahunsi in a viral video on Sunday.

The State Secretariat has therefore asked ward leaders to immediately suspend the ward chairman, assuring that further disciplinary actions will follow later.

In a statement signed by the party’s publicity secretary, Alex Kalejaye, the party condemned in strong terms the crude behaviour and unbelievable level indisciple exhibited by one of its officers, Mr. Olumide Awolumate.

According to the statement, the party, in an emergency meeting presided over by the State Chairman, Ade Adetimehin at the State Secretariat in Akure on Monday, expressed disappointment by the conducts of the ward chairman.

“We are still wondering what could have pushed him into exhibiting that degree of primitive affront on a highly placed party chieftain, and serving Commissioner”, the party lamented.


Ondo APC warned members of its executive to always embrace civility and self-discipline at all times. It is expedient to accord respect to party elders and constituted authorities.

The statement further cautioned that it would not condone or encourage any form of unruly behaviors or embarrassing conducts from its officers and members.
