Breaking: APC Suspends Kogi Deputy Gov, Achuba

The Kogi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended the Deputy Governor of the state, Simon Achuba.

According to the party, the embattled deputy governor was suspended for alleged anti-party activities before, during and after the 2019 general elections.

The party based the suspension on “some actions the Deputy Governor took that constitute embarrassment to APC family in Kogi state”.

The Kogi APC chairman, Abdullahi Bello, told reporters in Lokoja the party received several petitions from stakeholders in Iyano ward, Ibaji Local Government Area, where the Deputy Governor hails from.

Bello noted that the report of the disciplinary committee constituted by the Iyano ward and Ibaji local government APC, to probe the crises in the area, allegedly indicted the deputy governor, and also recommended for his suspension to be followed by expulsion, if he did not show any remorse.

He stated that the state Working Committee of the APC, having deliberated on the recommendations of the disciplinary committee of APC Iyano ward and Ibaji local government branch of the party, resolved and upheld Elder Simon Achuba’s suspension till he responds to the letter that the party would serve him.

“As we are all aware, the All Progressives Congress does not condone acts of indiscipline, indiscretion and anti-party activities from any party member, no matter how highly placed.

“His series of reckless, damaging and unsubstantiated allegations against government of Kogi state was an action that constitute a serious violation of Article 21A(ii), (v) and (vii) of the APC constitution, amount, amounting to acts of disloyalty and embarrassment to the party,” Bello stressed.

He added that the decision of the state working committee will be communicated to the APC National Working Committee in due course.

Achuba’s suspension comes a day after the state assembly commence impeachment proceedings against him.
