BREAKING: APC Expels Former Reps Candidate, Saubana Ajibola Muraina Over Defection to PDP, Anti-Party Activities

The All Progressives Congress, APC, Ward 09, Oke-Iserin, Igboora in Ibarapa Central Local Government Area of Oyo State, has expelled Hon. Dr. Saubana Ajibola Muraina from the party.

The expulsion was announced with immediate effect after an emergency Executive meeting of the Ward held on Friday, 25th September, 2026 in Igboora.

The decision was contained in a statement jointly signed by the Ward Chairman, Mr. Fasasi Mustapha and the Ward Secretary, Mr. Afolabi Abiodun.

According to the Ward, Hon. Muraina defected to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, after failing to secure the APC ticket for Ibarapa Central/Ibarapa North Federal Constituency for the 2027 general elections, and has now emerged as the PDP candidate for the same constituency.

The Executive stated that despite his defection to PDP, Muraina has continued to parade himself as a member of the APC in a calculated attempt to cause confusion and sow division within the party in Ward 09 and Ibarapa Central LGA.

His actions were described as gross anti-party activities, in clear violation of Article 21(A)(ii), (v), and (x) of the APC Constitution as amended.

“Consequently, Hon. Dr. Saubana Ajibola Muraina is hereby expelled from the All Progressives Congress, Ward 09, Oke-Iserin, Igboora. He ceases to be a member of our party at Ward, Local Government, State and National levels and should no longer be related with or paraded as a member or leader of the APC,” the statement read.

The Ward further disclosed that the expulsion letter has been forwarded through the LGA Party Chairman to the State Chairman for ratification and onward transmission to the National Working Committee, NWC, in Abuja for necessary action.
