The party alleged that the expelled members of the party were romancing with the ruling All progressives Congress (APC), hence their expulsion.
Some of the six expelled members are loyalists of former Governor Oyinlola and were alleged to have attended meetings with APC leaders in their various Local Government Areas recently while others were alleged to have followed Fatai Akinbade to the Labour Party.
In his reaction to his suspension, Tewobola said he remained a PDP member and the secretary of the party in the state saying that his expulsion was null, void and of no effect.
