Kano APC Expels Suspended Rep Abdulmumini Jibrin

The All Progressives Congress in Bebeji local government area of Kano state has expelled
the suspended House of Representatives member, Alhaji Abdulmumini Jibrin from the
party over alleged anti party activities.

Jibrin a member representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal constituency in Kano state, was suspended by House of Representatives for
exposing alleged budget padding in the green chamber.

The local government party chairman, Alhaji Sani Kanti-Ranka announced the expulsion
of Jibrin at a news conference in Kano on Thursday.

He said the decision to expel the suspended lawmaker from the party followed series of
allegations leveled against him in connection with the attempt to create divisions in the
party.

“He is also being accused of trying to change the leadership of the party at the local government and all the 14 wards in Bebeji local government.

“Similarly, he is expelled from the party at the local government because he is sabotaging the the state governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje in addition to being
disloyal and disrespectful to the National leadership of the party, “he said.

He said the offences were contrary to the APC constitution hence the decision of the party to set up a committee which sought
for his reaction on the allegations.

He said the five-member committee had invited Jibrin-Kofa to come and depend himself but he failed to do.

Kanti-Ranka said following his refusal to appear before the committee, the party had
no option than to expell him.

NAN reports that the copy of the expulsion letter which was signed by the Kofa ward Chairman and Secretary of the party, Hudu
Musa-Kofa and Jibrin Yunusa-Kofa, was copied to the state governor, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje and State party chairman, Alhaji
Abdullahi Abbas.

When contacted Jibrin-Kofa said the person who addressed the news conference was
neither the Chairman of the party at the local government level nor a part of the party executive at the state level.

“This is yet another round of character assassinations from career political antagonisers who are perpetually threatened by our advocate for transparency in public service and political
leadership,”he said.

According to him, they are engaged by some politicians in Abuja in continuation of their
bids to frustrate his anti-corruption campaign.
