The chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Jalingo State, Alhaji Bashir Bakari has been suspended by members of it's party executives in the council.
The suspension, was noticed by Daily News Report as it came on Sunday in Jalingo, the capital of Taraba state, after a vote of no confidence was passed on him.
This suspension was contained in a statement read and made available to newsmen, said the action has become wholly necessary following the recent activities of the chairman which the executive believed as being detrimental to the party.
The party’s Public Relations Officer (PRO) in the council, Mohammed Dahiru, said “it has become evidently clear and lucid that Bashir Bakari recent activities and actions are prejudicial to the overall interest of the party at all levels (the wards, local government and state levels.)”
Citing Article 21(1)(lll)(V)(Vll) of the party’s constitution, the action of the embattled chairman towards the party and its members, was said to be entirely” an antagonist to the party’s constitution.”
Wondering why the chairman had failed to adhere strictly to this section of the party’s laid down rules, they went ahead to accuse him of “handpicking without adherence to the provisions of the party constitution when summoning for a meeting.”
