The All Progressive Congress(APC) in Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State, says it has expelled Abdulmumuni Jibrin, a member of the House of Representatives who was suspended for accusing the leadership of the House of budget fraud.
Jibrin represents Bebeji Federal Constituency. The chapter of the party said Jibrin was expelled for anti-party activities.
Reading the resolution expelling Jibrin on Thursday, the party chairman in the local council, Sani Ranka, told journalists in Kano that the party had taken all constitutional steps to make Jibrin step back from “anti-party activities”, to no avail.
He said the party formed a five-member committee to meet with Jibrin, but the lawmaker refused to meet the panel.
“Before taking this final decision, we formed a five-man disciplinary committee and they went to him on 11-4-2017; he saw them briefly but without any tangible talks and they went back on 13-4-2017 he then refused to see them,” he said.
Ranka said after reporting back to the party executives, the party’s caucus agreed to expel Jibrin from their fold.
The party accused the suspended member of factionalizing the party, creating new unconstitutional leadership, going against the government of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and indiscipline against the National headquarters of the party and the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari.
