A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna State on Monday overturned a six-month suspension slammed on Governor Nasir el-Rufai.
Recall that the “Akida APC” faction had on Sunday handed the governor a six-month ban after a meeting for alleged anti-party activities.
But in a statement on Monday, the Acting Secretary of the party in the state (recognised by the state government), Yahaya Baba-Pate, while addressing journalists at a press conference, said the faction that suspended the governor had no such power.
He added that the suspension of the governor would not hold, saying it was only a legitimate organ of the party that can suspend any member of the party or the governor.
Therefore, he declared the governor’s suspension “null and void and of no effect.”
