Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The former Jigawa State All Progressives Congress, APC, chairman, Alhaji Habibu Sani Sara, and one other party supporter have been arrested by police.<\/p>\n

A source at the police headquarters confirmed that the former chairman and one other were invited and detained due to a complaint from one Malam Habibu Ringim, a Special Adviser to the Governor on Media Content.<\/p>\n

He said some of the complaints include attacking Governor Muhammad Badaru\u2019s personality and reputation over a radio program.<\/p>\n

Spokesman of the command, DSP Lawan Shiisu Adam, however, said the information had not reached his table at the time of filing this report.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST learned that Sara and Habu Karami Jahun, an APC stalwart in the state, while featuring on a radio program, accused Governor Badaru of the indiscriminate award of contracts that could be a burden to his successor.<\/p>\n

They also accused him of attempting to remain in power beyond May 29th, 2023, by imposing cabinet members and other key appointments into the incoming government of Malam Umaru Namadi.<\/p>\n

The Gwaram local government chapter of the APC expelled Sara and Tukur Fagam on allegations of anti-party and other nefarious actions capable of destabilizing the party in the state.<\/p>\n

It could be recalled that the APC also sacked Sara as state chairman of the party over alleged involvement in the misappropriation of the party\u2019s funds, an allegation he denied.<\/p>\n
