It was learnt that, Bola Tinubu barred the lawmaker representing Ondo-Central senatorial district, Senator Tayo Alasoadura, from attending South-West caucus meetings.
It
was learnt that the senator was ostracized for allegedly working
against the interest of the party’s South-West leadership and for taking
sides with Senate President Bukola Saraki.
Alasoadura was also among the senators that followed Saraki to the Code of Conduct Tribunal in solidarity on Tuesday.
The source said, “Alasoadura was a
Commissioner for Finance under the late Dr. Olusegun Agagu for over five
years. He later defected from the Peoples Democratic Party to the
Action Congress of Nigeria. Tinubu accepted him and appointed him the
Director-General of the Rotimi Akeredolu governorship campaign
organisation in 2013.
“Alasoadura was not even supposed to have
emerged the senatorial candidate of the APC in the last election but
the party favoured him. However, when he got to the Senate, he returned
to his PDP family and started working against the party. He also
supported Saraki against the interest of the party.
“When Tinubu convened a South-West
meeting in Abuja during the height of the National Assembly crisis,
Alasoadura came. However, Tinubu walked him out of the meeting and told
his orderly to ensure that the senator was escorted off the premises.
“Tinubu also warned senators present to
ensure that sensitive issues were not discussed in the presence of
Alasoadura as he was an enemy within.”
