The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State, has dismissed claims that suspended House of Representatives, Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, has been expelled from the party.
The party made this known in a statement issued by its Public Relations Officer, Bashir Yahaya Karaye.
APC described the expulsion report as a mischief carried out by an official who breached all protocols.
”We have received with absolute disappointment rumour of expulsion of Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa, a strong pillar of our party, the APC in Kano and Nigeria as a whole.
”The unfounded report was said to have originated from a member of the party who clearly abused the party’s protocols in disseminating that wrong information to the public.
”The party wishes to state that neither the leader of the party in Kano, His Excellency, the executive Governor of Kano, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje nor the state chairman and state executive committee were consulted or endorsed such mischievous act.
”The party is appealing to the public to disregard that mischief as it sets out to penalize all the members involved in this dispiriting embarrassment and unnecessary confusion among members and in the media,” the party said.
The Kano APC said it does not tolerate impersonation, abuse of office and wanton vindictiveness by a member who had no authority to make such grave pronouncement.
”We wish to emphasize that Hon. Jibrin is an essential member of the APC, and his contributions and representations of our interests have never gone unrecognized.
”We reiterate this as a show of our appreciation of his membership and loyalty to the party at both local and national level,” the party said.
