Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Officials of the All Progressives Congress, APC, from Gayam Electoral Ward of Lafia Local Government Area have suspended the state chairman of the party, Aliyu Bello, over alleged anti-party activities.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim Iliyasu, chairman of APC in Gayam Ward, announced the suspension at a press conference on Tuesday in Lafia.<\/p>\n

The ward chairman, who read the suspension letter signed by himself and 13 other ward executives, said the decision followed an investigation into complaints made by ward members regarding the chairman\u2019s anti-party conduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have credible evidence and reports that he has openly promoted and campaigned for a member of another political party contrary to Article 21 (1), (11), (VII) of the party\u2019s constitution,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Iliyasu noted that the actions of Bello had brought embarrassment to the party and undermined the credibility of its efforts among members.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have decided to suspend you with immediate effect in line with the powers vested in us as ward executive under Article 21 (D), (I), (III) of the constitution of our party and having consulted widely with stakeholders within the ward,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He further stated that the decision would be communicated to the Lafia Local Government Area Executive, the State Executive Committee, and the National Working Committee of the party for ratification and further necessary action.<\/p>\n

He urged the suspended APC chairman to refrain from parading himself as a member or official of the party pending the conclusion of the process.<\/p>\n
