The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State has suspended the Chairman of Birnin Kebbi Local Government Area, Alhaji Dahiru Nayaya Ambursa, effective immediately.
The suspension was communicated in a letter signed by the Kebbi Central Zonal Vice Chairman, Abubakar Bello. The APC cited “credible reports and findings” alleging that Ambursa misused his office and engaged in activities that undermine the party’s integrity.
“The suspension follows credible reports and findings of misuse of office, engaging in activities that undermine, ridicule, embarrass, and disunite the party,” the letter stated.
The party’s constitution, specifically Article 21 (2) (ii), was referenced in the decision, indicating that the chairman’s actions were contrary to the party’s interests and unity.
As part of the suspension, Ambursa has been instructed not to enter any APC offices. The letter warned that further infractions during the suspension could result in more severe disciplinary actions, potentially leading to expulsion from the party.
This suspension reflects ongoing efforts within the APC to maintain party discipline and cohesion, particularly as tensions rise ahead of the upcoming elections.
