The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano state has suspended Haruna Doguwa, its chairman, and Sunusi Suraj, organising secretary for alleged gross misconduct.
Abbas Sani-Abbas, the party’s secretary, announced the suspension of the two party officials when he addressed a news conference in Kano on Saturday.
Sani-Abbas said the party took the decision in order to allow the seven-man disciplinary committee it set up to investigate the alleged misconduct.
He said the party had appointed Abdullahi Abbas, special adviser on political affairs to Abdullahi Ganduje, governor of the state, as the acting chairman.
Sani-Abbas said the suspension was endorsed by the former and serving members of the national assembly and all the chairmen of the 44 local governments in the state.
The suspension, he added, was equally endorsed by 30 out of the 39 members of the house of assembly, vice chairmen and secretaries of the local governments.
He said the committee had been given one week within which to submit its report to the executive committee of the party for further action.
“If the disciplinary committee establishes any evidence to the fact that the suspended officials were culpable or not, it is left to the executive committee to take appropriate action,” he said.
