…It means that Ribadu will not participate in the 2023 general elections or any party activity within the period of his suspension…
The APC chairman, Yola South local government, Adamawa state, Hon Usman Isa Manujo has confirmed the suspension of the embattled State Organizing Secretary of the party, Comrade Mustapha Atiku Ribadu.
In an interview with the Voice of Arewa online media Sunday, Manujo disclosed that Ribadu was suspended from the activities of the party as organising secretary for the period of six months, sequel to his earlier suspension by the congress members of the APC Bako Ward, over alleged anti-party activities, gross and unilateral abuse of office as well as tempering and hindering with the process of internal democracy within the party ranging from Ward, local government and at the state levels.
Manujo said the notification of the suspension addressed to the state acting chairman of the APC, issued by the party’s Ward Chairman was countersigned by 16 congress members, which validated the suspension.
Ribadu had earlier called bluff the suspension; a dead on arrival, following a counter later signed by the APC ward chairman and supported by five other ward members, arguing that the suspension did not follow due process of the party and the law.
