A faction of the All Progressive
Congress, APC, in Kaduna state has suspended the governor of the state, Nasir
el-Rufai, for six months.
The governor’s suspension is
coming three days after the faction, known as Kaduna Restoration Group, issued
him a query and suspended three of his aides.
The party faction led by the
Senator representing Kaduna North Central, Suleiman Hunkuyi, had accused
El-Rufai of “anti- party activities and anti-human activities.The Senator said
if El-Rufai did not respond to the query within 48 hours, “the state working
committee will sit down and deliberate.”
But in a statement on Sunday, the
faction said the governor refused to honour the invitation to defend himself
over the allegations levelled against him.
It resolved to suspend him for
six months with immediate effect.
The statement said, “Sequel to
the 48 hours ultimatum issued to the Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir Ahmad
Elrufa’i by the Kaduna state working committee of the APC to give explanations
and defence on the allegations labelled against him, the SWC under chairmanship
of S.I.
“Danladi Wada on Saturday 17th
February 2018 convened, resolved and do consider and ratified the findings and
recommendations of the Disciplinary and Fact Finding Committee put before it in
accordance with Article 21 (B) (iii) of the APC Constitution, to the effect
that having the governor failed to respond accordingly, he stands suspended for
a period of 6 months from the APC with immediate effect.”
