Lagos—The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, seems to have extended to its Lagos State chapter as the state chairman, Mr Tunji Shelle, was sacked by 34 members of the State Working Committee.

Shelle was reportedly sacked by the committee after being found guilty of unspecified allegations levelled against him.

Also, the committee accused Shelle of mismanaging election campaign funds and manipulating the party’s primaries last year which ultimately led to the defeat of the PDP at the polls.

He was immediately replaced by  Kamaldeen Olorunoje, who will manage the affairs of the party.

Olorunje, before his new appointment, was the vice chairman of the party.

But in a swift reaction, the embattled chairman, Shelle described the sack as null and void.

Speaking with Vanguard over his removal, Shelle described those involved in the plot as jokers.
