Kano APC Confirms Suspension Of Federal Lawmaker For Attacking Ganduje

The Kano Municipal Local Government chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday confirmed the suspension of a federal lawmaker, Sha’aban Ibrahim Sharada from the party.

Sharada represents the Kano Municipal federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Naija News reports.

Confirming his suspension, the Kano Municipal APC in a suspension letter signed by the Chairman and Secretary, Alhaji Sani Abubakar Maifata and Kamilu Saidu Bala, respectively noted agreed with the ward level executives that the lawmaker remains suspended from the party for one year for insulting Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and other APC chieftains.

It will be recalled that the legislator had earlier been suspended by the Sharada ward.

On Thursday, the local government also affirmed Sharada’s suspension and forwarded letters of his suspension to the governor, the state chairman of APC, police, and DSS.

It added that they took the action after receiving a report from the ward level on the disciplinary committee set up to investigate allegations against him.

The letter reads: “We affirm the Suspension of Sha’aban Ibrahim Sharada who was suspended at his ward level for 12 months, for his open attack and castigation of Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and other APC stalwarts,” Maifata said.

“After going through their reports and evidence attached to the suspension letter by the ward executives, the committee confirmed that Sha’aban Ibrahim Sharada has been found guilty of all the charges against him.

“He is guilty of assassination of the characters of Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and party executives at the Ward, Local and State levels.

“The assertions by Sha’aban Ibrahim Sharada may instigate chaos and Turmoil in the State which may disrupt and distract the positive missions of Governor Ganduje.

“They may also derogate the dignity of the party executives to their subjects in addition to party loss of supporters at the grassroots level.

“We hereby affirm the suspension of Sha’aban Ibrahim Sharada for the period of 12 months, during which he will not interfere in any of the affairs or activities of the party at all levels.”

Meanwhile, the lawmaker representing Anambra South Senatorial District, Ifeanyi Ubah, has emerged as the governorship candidate of the Young Progressives Party in Anambra State.

The emergence of Ubah, who was cleared by the YPP national leadership in Abuja, will reduce the fear that the election might not hold in November.
