The All Progressives Congress
(APC) in Zamfara state has expelled Senator Kabiru Garba Marafa for alleged
anti-party activities.
Marafa is representing Zamfara
Central in the outgoing Senate.
Others expelled along with the
Federal lawmaker for the same alleged offence are Hon Aminu Sani Jaji and Mal
Ibrahim Wakkala Liman.
In a statement signed by its
State Publicity Secretary, Shehu Isah, and made available to newsmen in Abuja
on Monday, the decision followed the activation of the provisions of Article 21
(A) ii and (D) V which spells out the punishment for members who violate the
APC constitutional provisions and engaged in acts inimical to the interest of
the party.
The statement reads “For the
avoidance of doubt, the said Article 21 (A) (ii) and (D) (V) of the APC
Constitution (2014 as amended) provides as follow:”
“A(ii) Anti-Party activities or any conduct,
which is likely to embarrass or have adverse effect on the party or bring the
party into hatred, contempt, ridicule or disrepute”
“D (V) Any member who files an
action in Court of law against the party or any of its Officers on any matter
or matters relating to the discharge of the duties of the party without first
exhausting the avenues for redress provided for in this Constitution shall
automatically stand expelled from the party on filling such action and no
appeal against expulsion as stipulated in this Clause shall be entertained
until the withdrawal of the action from Court by the members.”
“We are therefore by this notice
informing the general public that from the date of the said resolution, the
aforementioned members cease to be members of the All Progressives Congress and
consequently are disentitled from enjoying right, privileges and benefits from
the party, the statement added.
