Suspended House of Representatives member, Abdulmumin
Jibrin, has been expelled by the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chapter in
Bebeji local government area of Kano state.
The local government chapter of the ruling party explained
that the former House of Representatives Chairman on Appropriation was expelled
due to anti-party activities.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Chairman of the
party in the local government, Sani Ranka, accused Jibrin of promoting divisive
tendencies.
According to Ranka,“The party will not condone indiscipline
and disrespect to leaders or duly constituted authority. We hereby inform the
world that Jibrin has been expelled from our great party.”
The party executives at the briefing affirmed that
stakeholders decision to expel Jibrin was a unanimous one.
Jibrin had in 2016 accused the Speaker of the House, Yakubu
Dogara and other principal officials of padding last year’s budget.
The allegation which is being investigated by the Economic
and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, led to his suspension for 180 days.
