Ibrahim Usman Kamfani, the member representing Hadeja/Kafin Hausa/Auyo constituency, was suspended yesterday alongside six others over alleged anti-party activities.

The suspension was announced in a statement personally signed by the state APC chairman Ahmed Garba MK. It was copied to both the zonal and national chairman of the ruling party.

Although there were no specifics on the alleged activities, the letter cited an incidents which occurred at Auyo Local Government Area on May 26.

“The party views these actions as capable of causing division within its ranks and bringing the APC into disrepute,” the statement read in part. But it also said the suspension is not final dismissal from the party. The affected members would, however, remain suspended pending investigations.

“The suspension will remain in force pending the outcome of an investigation by the party’s disciplinary committee and the submission of its final report.

“The disciplinary process will determine any further action after the committee concludes its work,” the statement further read.
