APC Suspends Gov. El-Rufai For Six Months

A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna state has suspended Governor Nasir El-Rufai for six months.

The suspension follows the Governor refusal to answer the query issued to him last week.

While inaugurating its secretariat, the APC faction asked El-Rufai to respond to the query within 48 hours.

The chairman of the faction, Alhaji Danladi Wada said: “This briefing is sequel to 48 hours ultimatum/query and warning issued to the state governor to explain and defence himself against the allegations leveled against him which he failed to respond.

“The State Working Committee on Saturday 17, February 2018, convened and resolved to consider and to rectify the findings and recommendations of the Disciplinary Committee and the Fact Finding Committee put before it in accordance with the provision of article 21(B) section 3 of the APC constitution and accordingly, the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai stands suspended for 6 months from the APC, commencing from 17, February, 2018.”

Reacting to the query issued to him, the Kaduna state Governor said that it is a non-issue.
