Recall that the PDP in Otun Balogun Ward 2, Ayedaade local government area of the state expelled Babayemi on Friday.<\/p>\n

The party made the move over allegations of anti-party activities brought against Babayemi.<\/p>\n

While reacting to the expulsion through Kayode Oladejo, his spokesperson on Friday, Babayemi said, \u201cThose who carried out the shenanigans they called an expulsion of Omooba Dotun Babayemi from the PDP, are ignorant of the rules that govern the party.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey and their sponsors are only being clever by half in their bid to browbeat Babayemi, a man of the people. They are jesters who enjoy amusing themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n
