The All Progressive Congress, APC, in
Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State, says it has expelled
Abdulmumuni Jibrin, the member of the House of Representatives who
was suspended for accusing the leadership of the House of budget
fraud.
Mr. Jibrin represents Bebeji Federal
Constituency. The chapter of the party said Mr. Jibrin was expelled
for taking part in anti-party activities.
Accordint to Premium Times, reading the resolution expelling Mr.
Jibrin Thursday, the party chairman in the local government, Sani
Ranka, told journalists in Kano the party had taken all
constitutional steps to make Mr. Jibrin step back from “anti-party
activities”, to no avail.
He said the party formed a five-member
committee to meet with Mr. Jibrin, but the lawmaker refused to meet
the panel.
“Before taking this final decision,
we formed a disciplinary five-man committee and they went to him on
11-4-2017, he saw them briefly but without any tangible talks and
they went back on 13-4-2017 he then refused to see them,” he said.
Mr. Ranka said after reporting back to
the party executives, the party’s caucus agreed to expel Mr. Jibrin
from the party.
The party accused the suspended member
of factionalizing the party, creating new unconstitutional
leadership, going against the government of Governor Abdullahi
Ganduje and indiscipline against the national headquarters of the
party and the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari.
Mr. Jibrin could not be immediately
reached for comments.
