APC suspends SGF Boss Mustapha

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Gwadabawa ward, Yola North LGA of Adamawa State, has suspended Boss Mustapha, secretary to the government of the federation (SGF).

The ward chairman of  the party, Mu’azu Kabiru, said at a press conference in Yola on Wednesday that Mustapha failed to assist the party at the ward level when his attention was needed.

During the presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), won the Yola North LGA.

In the governorship election, Aisha Binani, governorship candidate of the APC, won the LGA but not by a wide margin.

Kabiru said the SGF had failed to recognise the importance of the party’s executives in Gwadabawa who had worked to keep the ward united.

But Samaila Tadawus, acting chairperson of the APC in Adamawa, dismissed the suspension, saying that it was unconstitutional.

The leadership of the party at the local government, or the state or national working committee is required to approve any member’s suspension or expulsion.

“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 these acts of targeting elders of the party,” Tadawus said.
