The candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State, Hajia Aishatu Binani has been reportedly suspended by her Yola-South Local Council chapter.

Naija News reports that this is coming few weeks to the governorship election.

Binani’s suspension was made known on Saturday in a statement issued in Yola and signed by the 21 executive members of the local council chapter.

They accused Binnani of refusing to appear before a disciplinary committee to answer allegations leveled against her.

According to the statement: “The Yola-South chapter of the APC received and reviewed a petition against Binnani from a member of the party from Bako Ward – Auwal Hamma Adama. Adama accused her of causing disunity among members in the ward.”

The local council APC chairman, Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed, confirmed the suspension, while speaking to journalists in Yola.

He urged the state executive to uphold the suspension to instill discipline in the party. The suspension is to last for six months, if not reversed by the state executive members.

But in a swift reaction, the State APC Publicity Secretary, Mohammed Abdullahi, dismissed the party’s gubernatorial candidate suspension.

Abdullahi said the constitution of the party did not give local council party executives any power to suspend a member of the party, except at the ward level.

He said the decision was an exercise in futility, null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
