Zamfara APC Moves To Discipline Recalcitrant Members

The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has set up a seven-man disciplinary committee to look into activities of party members working against the resolution  of the APC National Executive Committee (NEC).
The state party Chairman, Alhaji Lawal Liman, made this known in a statement in Gusau, yesterday.
Liman said that the committee was set up in line with the directive by the national secretariat of the party.
He said the committee, headed by the Zonal Vice Chairman, Zamfara North, Alhaji Abdullahi Ja’o, has Mr Bello Umar as Secretary.
“Other members are Ahmad Maradun, Nasiru Magayaki, Babangida Abdullahi, Aliyu Kagara and Umar Abbas.
“The committee has 19 days to submit its report as directed by the national secretariat of the party,” he said.
Liman said that Zamfara APC acted on a letter dated August 26, written by the National Secretary of the party, Sen. Jonh Akpanudoedele.
He added that the letter was titled ‘Resolution and Detective of the National Executive Committee on Litigation by Party Members: Disciplinary Action Against Erring Members of the Party’.
It stated that “You will recalled that on the 25th, June, 2020, the APC NEC passed a resolution directing all members of the party not to institute any court action and to withdraw their cases in court in order to explore the internal conflict resolution mechanisms of the party.
“The National Caretaker Committee finds it worrisome that despite the directive of NEC, subsequent steps taken by the party to ensure compliance, there have been a number of court cases by party members seeking for dissolution of the caretaker committee/State Congress in complete disregard of the directive of the NEC.
“The leadership of the party has decided to invoke the provision of Article 21 of the party’s constitution against members of the party who have flouted the directive of NEC.
