The executive members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ward 8, Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State, have suspended their chairman, Musa Abdulahi, over allegations of misconduct and anti-party activities. The decision was made during a meeting attended by ward executives led by Muhammed Muhammed and 22 other party leaders.
Abdulahi was accused of gross misconduct, insubordination, and actions detrimental to the party’s objectives. Specific allegations included his refusal to convene meetings, failure to address concerns regarding his involvement in an incident involving Anamero Dekeri, a prominent member of the House of Representatives, and misappropriation of funds allocated for mobilizing party members to collect their voter cards. Additionally, Abdulahi was accused of colluding with opposition parties to undermine APC operations.
The suspension, which takes immediate effect, requires Abdulahi to return all party property and documents in his possession. He has also been warned against presenting himself as the party’s Ward 8 chairman or a member of the party. The executives emphasized that failure to comply with these directives would result in legal action, as the APC constitution empowers ward executives to suspend any executive or party member guilty of violating the party’s principles and constitution.
The ward leaders reaffirmed their support for Anamero Dekeri, commending his performance since assuming office.
