Drama in Adamawa APC as excos clash over suspension of Boss Mustapha for losing polling unit to PDP

BY MAYOWA SAMUEL

The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has suspended the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, for losing his polling unit to the People’s Democratic Party at the presidential and governorship polls.

Announcing the suspension at a press conference in Yola, party chairman of Gwadabawa Ward, Muazu Kabiri, said Mustapha was not committed to APC’s victory at the presidential election, as the SGF did not contribute to the victory of its presidential and governorship candidates.

The suspension was also contained in a letter signed by Kabiri and 22 other party executive members, stating that the indefinite suspension followed complaints from his ward, adding that no individual could be above the party that gave them the platform.

However, in a sudden twist to the announcement of the indefinite suspension slammed on the SGF, the State Working Committee of the party under the leadership of the acting Chairman, Samaila Tadawus, declared the announcement as “unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect.”

The Adamawa State APC SWC, also announced the directive of the local government executive committee of Yola North, to constitute a disciplinary committee to immediately investigate and recommend appropriate action.

Secretary of the party, 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.”
