– Sacked Chieftain Reacts

POLITICS DIGEST- The All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) has ratified the expulsion of its Caretaker Chairman for Yola South Local Government Area, Adamawa State, Alhaji Sulaiman Adamu.

National Secretary of the APC CECPC, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe in a statement said Alhaji Adamu “expulsion from the party takes immediate effect.”

Adamu was accused of making utterances in a viral video that the party national secretariat noted was inimical to the interest of the party

Senator Akpanudoede in the statement disclosed that the “CECPC received and deliberated on the report of his infractions and recommendations of the 7-member disciplinary committee set up by the Adamawa State Working Committee to investigate the offences committed by Alhaji Sulaiman Adamu against the interest of the party.

“Recall the viral video in which Alhaji Sulaiman Adamu made unwholesome utterances on President Muhammadu Buhari, the Leader of the party.

“He was also found guilty of bringing the image of the party to disrepute thereby creating doubt on his leadership quality and loyalty to the party.”

However, Sulaiman Adamu reacted to the allegations saying that  he accepted the party’s decision in good faith.

Adamu, who had yet to be communicated, officially, of his expulsion, told The PUNCH that he was unaware of his expulsion from the APC.

He said that notwithstanding, he would still encourage his followers not to leave the APC, “I have accepted my fate. I see it as Allah’s will. All I have ever wanted is for the APC to remain in power and this can only be guaranteed by our victory at the polls. But now that I have been expelled, I will still urge my followers not to leave the APC.

“We built this party with our sweat; it is inconceivable to now encourage them (my followers) to leave.

“Since this solely affected me; when I meet with them, I will tell them not to leave but to stay.

Meanwhile, the party further called on party members to always demonstrate self-discipline and restraint by desisting from acts and utterances that are inimical to the interest of the party.
