Onu alleged Odefa is believed working for Oyo Governor Seyi Makinde, covering his interest in the region ahead of his rumoured 2027 presidential bid.
Silas Onu, a lawyer said: “His expulsion has been long overdue and having it affirmed today is a great news for the PDP. We await to see how the Oyo Governor will now overrule the Federal High Court decision, seeing that he had encouraged the disobedience of other” judgments in the past.”
