The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said it has upheld the disciplinary actions of Magajin Gari “A” Ward, Sokoto North Local Government, and the Party’s Sokoto State Executive Committee on the Party’s National Vice Chairman (North West), Inuwa Abdulkadir over anti-party activities.
The APC upheld the decisions in a statement on Thursday signed by Lanre Issa-Oniul, the Party’s national spokesman.
While the APC NWC said it will refer the request for Abdulkadir’s expulsion to the NAtional Executive Committee (NEC) since the decision does not lie in its hands, it said the prayer on suspension will be heeded.
“The party organs in Sokoto State have earlier expelled Abdulkadir and passed on their recommendation to the NWC for ratification.
“The decision to uphold the actions of the Sokoto APC organs was taken at a meeting of the NWC held at the Party’s National Secretariat on Thursday.
“Abdulkadir failed to utilise the opportunity to defend himself before the disciplinary committee set up by the NWC to look into the various petitions received against certain members of our party.
“Following the suspension of Abdulkadir, the NWC will subsequently forward the decision of the Sokoto State organs to the Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) for further actions,” the APC said.
