Mallam Ototobor’s suspension was contained in a statement by Edo APC Publicity Secretary, Prince Peter Uwadiae.

The statement said Ototobor was suspended from all activities of the party with immediate effect after careful review of his recent actions and conduct.

It said the actions and conduct were considered inconsistent and insubordinate with the principles, discipline, and rules of the APC in Edo State.

The party declared: “Accordingly, the APC Chairman of Etsako – East Local Government Area is directed to bar Mallam Adamu Ototobor from attending or participating in any of the Party’s meetings, events, or functions until his suspension is officially lifted by the appropriate authority of the Party.

“The party maintains that discipline, loyalty, and respect for constituted authority remain the bedrock of the APC, and any act capable of undermining these values will not be tolerated.”
