APC suspends Gombe Senator, Rep for anti-party activities

The Gombe State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended the senator representing Gombe South Senatorial District, Amos Bulus, for alleged anti-party activities.

This was contained in a statement issued on Saturday, April 8, by the state APC Publicity Secretary, Moses Kyari.

Kyari noted that the party also suspended the lawmaker representing Yamaltu-Deba Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Yunusa Abubakar, for alleged anti-party activities.

He said the lawmakers were suspended by their ward executives after they were found to have been engaged in anti-party activities during the 2023 general election in the state.

Kyari said the senator was suspended by the Ward Executives of Bambam in Balanga Local Government Area of the state.

“He (Bulus) was suspended for anti-party activities at the just concluded general election.

“This came about as result of a petition written from his ward which caused a five-man committee from the ward to investigate and get to the root of the matter, about two weeks ago,” he said.

Kyari stated that a committee was set up to investigate the matter, adding that the committee invited the senator but he could not defend himself from the allegations, leading to his suspension from the party.

The APC spokesperson said Abubakar’s suspension was based on the recommendations of a disciplinary committee which found him guilty of anti-party activities.

He noted that the suspension of the lawmakers had been ratified by the Gombe APC Executive Council.
