The Adamawa State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended indefinitely, the party executives of Gwadabawa wards, Yola-North Local Government Area over the “unconstitutional” suspension of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha.
The State Secretary of the APC, Dr Raymond Chidama, made this known at a press conference in Yola, the Adamawa State capital, on Saturday.
It would be recalled that APC leadership in Gwadabawa ward, on Wednesday, suspended Mustapha from the party for alleged anti-party activities and not winning his polling units during the general elections.
Chidama said the State Working Committee (SWC), under the leadership of Samaila Tadawus, received the resolution of Yola-North Executive Committee on unconstitutional conduct of the suspended exco members for announcing to media they suspended the SGF from the party.

He said the LG executive committee recommended their indefinite suspension and the formation of a caretaker committee.
The Adamawa APC Secretary stated that the SWC also considered the confidence bestowed on the SGF by President Muhammadu Buhari whereby he gave him National Honour, several letters of commendation, and appointed him to chair key Federal Government committees and councils, latest being the Presidential Committee on Transition.
Chidama said: “The SWC views the activities of these people as an embarrassment to the National Chairman, Mr President, and the party.
“The SWC therefore approved the removal from office of all exco members of Gwadabawa ward with immediate effect.
“Indefinite suspension of all exco members of Gwadabawa ward from the party and constitution of seven man Committee as recommended has been approved.”
He further directed all suspended members to hand over all party properties in their possession to the Chairman of Yola-North immediately.
“All lower organs of the party are reminded to consult widely with their stakeholders before engaging in this type of white elephant investments in the future,” Chidama added.
