KANO APC SUSPENDS HON. ABDULMUMIN JIBRIN

BEBEJI, Kano, Nigeria – The All Progressive Congress, APC has suspended lawmaker representing Kiru/Bebeji Constituency, Kano, Hon. Andulmumin Jibrin.

Jibrin who was Chairman House Committee on Appropriation was suspended by the House of Representatives over allegation of budget padding leveled against Speaker of the House, Hon. Yakubu Dogara and principal members of the house.

At a press briefing in Bebeji, held by Chairman of the party, Sani Kanti Ranka, with other party executives from the area, the party said Mr. Jibrin was expelled for several offenses, including allegations that he was trying to divide the party and sabotage the administration of Kano State Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

The party also accused Hon. Andulmumin Jibrin of forming a parallel party leadership in all 14 wards at the Bebeji local government level, “misconduct” at the party’s national level, adding that he had called for the resignation of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“All the offenses go contrary to the set rules and regulations of the ruling party, APC. The party set up a committee to that effect before taking this decision. But unfortunately for him, whenever the committee invited him to hear his own side of the complaints sent to him, he always refused to come,” Mr. Ranka said.

“The committee has submitted its report to the party based on these offenses. And we are informing you officially that from today, June 15th 2017, you stand expelled from our great party, APC. This decision is reached for us to allow peace to reign in our party. So also for the local government, the state and the nation to prosper.”
