The Executive Council of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kukadi/Gundari Ward of Misau LGA, Bauchi State has announced the expulsion of the State APC Chairman, Babayo Aliyu Misau for alleged anti party activities in Bauchi
The Ward Executive Council of the APC declared that the action taken became necessary in order to save the party and instill discipline in the membership of party in Misau local government and the state as a whole.
The Secretary of the party in the ward, Aliyu Hassan Adamu who spoke on behalf of the party Executive members while addressing Journalists on Tuesday at the NUJ Press Center, said that after series of meeting by the party in the Misau LGA, it was agreed that the action be taken.
He said that they arrived at the decision to expell the State chairman from the membership of the party in the ward, adding that they have already intimated the party at the Ward and local government level.
According to him, Babayo Aliyu Misau never campaigned for any of the APC candidates during the Presidential, National Assembly and governorship elections, adding that he was conspicuously absent in all their congresses and meetings throughout the campaign period.
“We, the Executive members of Kukadi/Gundari ward in Misau local government area of Bauchi state have agreed to expell Babayo Misau, the State APC Chairman from the membership of the party in Misau LGA,” he said.
He added that, “because of acts of disloyalty and betrayal to our great party.In his capacity as Chairman of the APC in the state, he neither campaigned or voted for our governorship candidate during the period of the campaign.”
The Secretary alleged that, “He was caught red handed displaying his voters sheet where he did not vote for the party governorship candidate, rather he voted for the candidates contesting the State Assembly elections.”
Aliyu Hassan said that, “He even went as far as discouraging the electorates from voting for the party during the general election, We consider this as a great distrust to our party, therefore he is not fit to be a member of the party in Misau LGA.”
“We have stripped him of his membership of the party in Kukadi/Gundari ward.To this effect, all our party Executive members at the Ward in Misau local government have signed to that effect and henceforth he seizes to be a member of APC in Misau LGA, ” he said.
But in a swift reaction, Babayo Aliyu Misau dismissed the purported suspension saying that it cannot be effective because it was not done in accordance with the estblished procedure, guidelines and constitution of APC.
