The APC in Adamawa State has suspended indefinitely, the party executives of Gwadabawa wards, Yola-North LGA over alleged unconstitutional suspension of Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).
State Secretary of the party, Raymond Chidama, disclosed this at a news conference on Saturday in Yola, the state capital.
He said that the State Working Committee (SWC), under the leadership of Samaila Tadawus, received the resolution of Yola-North Executive Committee on unconstitutional conduct of the suspended exco members for announcing to media they suspended SGF from the party.
He said that the LG executive committee recommended for their indefinite suspension and the formation of a caretaker committee.
Mr Chidama said the SWC also considered the confidence bestowed on the SGF by Mr. President, whereby he gave him National Honour, several letters of commendation and appointed him to chair key federal government committees and councils, latest being the Presidential Committee on Transition.
According to him, the SWC therefore views the activities of these people as an embarrassment to the National Chairman, the President and the party.
“The SWC, therefore, approved the removal from office of all Exco Members of Gwadabawa ward with immediate effect.
“Indefinite suspension of all Exco members of Gwadabawa ward from the party and constitution of seven man Committee as recommended” has been approved, he said.
The secretary directed all suspended members to hand over all party properties in their possession to the Chairman of Yola-North immediately.
“All lower organs of the party are reminded to consult widely with their Stakeholders before engaging in this type of white elephant investments in the future,” he said.
