APC Expels Suspended Whistle-Blower Rep, Jibrin

Abdulmumin Jibrin

The ruling party, All Progressive Congress, APC, has expelled Abdulmumuni Jibrin, the member of the House of Representatives member suspended by the Green Chamber for blowing the whistle about a massive budget padding fraud by principal officers of the House led by Speaker, Yakubu Dogara.

The Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State chapter of APC on Thursday released a resolution, rusticating the embattled Jibrin, who represents Bebeji Federal Constituency, for taking part in anti-party activities.

Reading the resolution, APC chairman in the local government, Sani Ranka  told journalists in Kano the party had unsuccessfully explored all means to make Mr. Jibrin step back from “anti-party activities”.

He revealed how the party formed a five-member panel to meet with Jibrin, but he turned it down.

“Before taking this final decision, we formed a disciplinary five-man committee and they went to him on 11-4-2017, he saw them briefly but without any tangible talks and they went back on 13-4-2017 he then refused to see them,” he said.

Mr. Jibrin is accused of factionalizing the party, creating new unconstitutional leadership, going against the government of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and indiscipline against the national headquarters of the party and the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari.
