It’s been reported that the National Leader of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, barred Senator Alasoadura, from attending South-West caucus meetings.
The Senator was said to have been alienated for being disloyal and working against the party’s agenda, by associating with Saraki.
The final straw for Tinubu, was allegedly due to the fact that Alasoadura accompanied Saraki to the Code of Conduct Tribunal on Tuesday.
A source revealed to Punch that: “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.”
