The Kano state chapter of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) has upheld the suspension of Abdulmumin Jibrin,
lawmaker representing Bebeji/Kiru federal constituency in the house of
representatives.
The Bebeji local government
chapter of the party had earlier slammed a one-year suspension on the lawmaker
over alleged anti-party activities.
Suleiman Gwarmai, chairman of the
APC in Bebeji, had said the decision to suspend the lawmaker was arrived at following
a recommendation by a seven-man committee which was constituted after the party
received a petition against the lawmaker.
The state chapter had also set up
a committee to look into the allegations levelled against Jibrin.
But on Wednesday, Ibrahim Sarina,
state secretary of the ruling party, said after studying the report submitted
to it, the committee had upheld the suspension
This was conveyed in a letter
dated September 4, a copy of which was seen by TheCable.
The development comes on the eve
of a court judgement on the election in the constituency.
Although the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC) declared Jibrin winner of the election, his rivals
challenged his victory in the court.
