Gombe APC Suspends Senator and Representative Over Alleged Anti-Party Activities

The Gombe chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken disciplinary action against two of its members, Sen. Amos Bulus (APC-Gombe) and Rep. Yunusa Abubakar. The party has suspended them from their positions due to alleged anti-party activities during the 2023 general election in the state.

Mr Moses Kyari, the state APC Publicity Secretary, released a statement on Saturday in Gombe to announce the suspensions. According to Kyari, the lawmakers were suspended by their respective ward executives after they were found to have engaged in anti-party activities.

Kyari clarified that the Senator's suspension came from the Ward Executives of Bambam in the Balanga Local Government Area of the state. He explained that a petition had been written from his ward, leading to a five-man committee being formed to investigate the allegations of anti-party activities about two weeks prior. However, when the Senator was invited to defend himself before the committee, he could not do so effectively, and as a result, the committee recommended his suspension from the party.

In the case of Rep. Yunusa Abubakar, his suspension was based on the findings of a disciplinary committee, which determined that he was guilty of anti-party activities.

Kyari also stated that the suspensions of both lawmakers had been ratified by the state APC Executive Council.

It is important for political parties to maintain discipline and hold their members accountable for their actions, especially during election season. Such actions help to promote transparency and fairness in the political process.
