Those denied access included former Senate Chief Whip Sir Rowland Owie, party financier Sunny Aguebor and Douglas Iyike of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria.
Owie accused Odigie-Oyegun of sidelining founding members while inviting non-members to the meeting.
He urged the party’s national leadership to intervene, saying loyal members who have been mobilising support across the state deserve respect.
Odigie-Oyegun, when reached, said he was still in a meeting and would address the matter later.
