According to a suspension letter obtained by Channels Television, the action was taken due to alleged anti-party activities, disloyalty, and harassment of the party’s executive members.

The letter was jointly signed by the APC Local Government Party Chairman, Muhammad Maibarga, the Local Government Executive Chairman, Sirajo Usman Koko and 14 other stakeholders of the party in the area.

However, close associates of the former lawmaker told Channels Television that they were not authorised to speak on his behalf.
