The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has suspended the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, for losing his polling unit to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the presidential and governorship polls....CONTINUE READING
According to ThisDay report, the party said the SGF did not contribute to the victory of its presidential and governorship candidates, hence the need to ease him out of the party.
The party ward executive also lamented that the SGF had allegedly refused to assist the party at the ward level when his attention was needed as a ward member who cast his vote at unit 002.
Announcing the suspension at a press conference in Yola, chairman of Gwadabawa Ward, Mu’azu Kabiru, explained that based on a series of complaints against him, the Ward executives decided to suspend him indefinitely, noting that individuals should not take themselves above the party that gave them a platform.
Reacting to the development, the State Working Committee of the party under the leadership of the acting Chairman, Chief Samaila Tadawus, declared the announcement as “unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect.”
Tadawus directed the party’s executive committee in Yola North local government area of the state to set up a disciplinary committee to immediately investigate and recommend appropriate action on the matter.
Secretary of the party, Dr. Raymond Chidama, who addressed journalists at the party secretariat on behalf of the SWC, frowned at the penchant of party members who were being sponsored by “opposition elements within the party with malicious intent to attack elders of the party through actions that flagrantly disregard the party’s constitution.”
He said, “We hereby state clearly that such suspension is unconstitutional, null and void and is of no effect, because the state working committee has warned the ward executives in the past to desist from this acts of targeting elders of the party and disregarding constitutional provisions, appropriate sanctions will be applied after thorough investigations.”
