Ogun State Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Chairman Bashorun Dayo Soremi and four others arraigned for alleged forgery were yesterday granted bail.
The others are Semiu Oladipo (Secretary); Adeja Olokun; Abiodun Taiwo and Aree Olufemi Dehinsilu.
They are standing trial over alleged forgery to aid the substitution of the candidate for Remo Federal Constituency, Hon. Dave Salako.
Magistrate Oyebola Oyewunmi asked them to produce two sureties, who must be residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, and a civil servant from level eight upwards.
Salako in a petition to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) and the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alleged that the accused persons collected N100 million from Mr Oladipupo Adebutu to replace him.
Also yesterday, Governor Gbenga Daniel allegedly sacked four of his political appointees, following their alleged refusal to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN).
They are Remi Ogunshola, Hon. Deji Orebiyi, Taiwo Jimoh and Daniel’s Laison Officer for Obafemi Owode local government. Until yesterday, they were members of the Caretaker Committee of Yewa South local government.
Commissioner for Information and Orientation Sina Kawonise said: “Daniel did not sack anyone in his cabinet because of political affiliation. Daniel remains in the PDP and continues to solicit votes for President Goodluck Jonathan at all the PPN rallies he attends.”
