For taking part in anti-party activities, suspended Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin has been booted out of the All Progressive Congress (APC), in Bebeji Local Government Area of Kano State.

In the resolution that expelled Jibrin representing Bebeji, the party chair Sanni Ranka said

Thursday in Kano the party took all constitutional steps to make Jibrin step back from “anti-party activities”, but nothing worked.

He said the party formed a five-member committee to meet with Mr. Jibrin, but the lawmaker refused to meet the panel.

“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.

According to him, after reporting back to the party executives, the party’s caucus agreed to expel. Jibrin from the party.

The party accused the suspended member of splitting the party, creating new unconstitutional leadership, going against the government of Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and showing indiscipline to the national headquarters of the party and the presidency of Muhammadu Buhari.

Jibrin’s journey out of the ruling party began last year when he accused the leadership of the House of Reps of padding the 2016 budget with N40 billion.

The House resolved to suspend him after he failed to respond yo a panel set up to probe the matter.

His 180 legislative days’ suspension expires in June.
