The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara State, has announced the expulsion of Senator Lawali Shuaibu, Deputy National Chairman of the party.
Igbere TV reports that Shuaibu is the APC scribe who wrote a letter last week demanding for the removal of the party’s National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.
Also expelled is the immediate past governor of Zamfara State, Abdulaziz Yari.
While Yari was expelled for allegedly scuttling the party’s chances in Zamfara State, the Deputy Chairman was expelled for conniving with Yari to sabotage the National Working Committee of the party during the botched primary elections in the state.
The decision to expel the former governor and the Deputy Chairman was taken at the end of an emergency meeting held in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital.
A statement jointly signed by the Chairman of the party in Zamfara, Alhaji Surajo Garba Mai Katako and the Publicity Secretary, Muhammad Bello Bakyasuwa, said the expulsion was sequel to the electoral misfortune, “Yari and his co-travellers exposed the party to in Zamfara state.”
The statement made available to Igbere TV read:
“After reviewing the outing of our party in the last general election and the outcome of the Supreme Court Judgement, we hereby dismiss the former governor of Zamfara state, Abdulaziz Yari and the Deputy National Chairman Sen Lawali Shuaibu from the APC.
“Following this development, we are urging them to immediately surrender all the belongings of the party in their possession including funds.
“Yari and his boys scuttled the efforts of our national headquarters to conduct primaries on the 3rd and 7th of October 2018. His nefarious activities led to the death of six persons and over 200 others were injured.”
