In a statement released on Thursday, the Conference Chairman, Rt. Hon. Adebo Ogundoyin, dismissed the claim—first published by an online platform on July 30, 2025—as “completely false, malicious, and deliberately intended to mislead the public.”

Ogundoyin clarified that no suspension took place and no press conference was held in Ibadan or any other location to announce such an action.

“There was no such suspension. No press conference took place in Ibadan or anywhere else, and no such statement was issued by me or any authorised spokesperson of the Conference,” he affirmed.

He further stressed that Rt. Hon. Egbedun remains “a valued and active member of the Conference, who has not been found guilty of any wrongdoing.”

The Conference criticised the online platform responsible for the publication, labelling the report as “baseless and devoid of journalistic integrity.”

Ogundoyin called on media outlets to uphold accuracy and verify facts before publishing, noting that false reporting can severely harm reputations and mislead the public.

“Press freedom comes with a duty to report responsibly. The spread of fake news must be addressed urgently,” he concluded.
