APC EXPELS PARTY LEADER WHO WISHED BUHARI GET COVID-19
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled a chieftain of the party, Sulaiman Adamu, who allegedly said that he wished President Muhammadu Buhari to contract COVID-19 so that Vice President Osinbajo would replace him.
Adamu was the Caretaker Chairman of the party in Yola South Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
A statement on Thursday by John Akpan Udoedehe, APC National Secretary, said the expulsion takes immediate effect.
The party Secretary said it was part of the resolutions reached at the 16th meeting of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) held at the National Secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday.
He disclosed that the party received and deliberated on the report of Adamu’s infractions and recommendations of the seven-member disciplinary committee set up by the Adamawa State Working Committee.
The APC condemned Adamu for making “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.”
The CECPC told members to always demonstrate and restraint and desist from acts and utterances that are inimical to the interest of the ruling platform.
In a leaked audio, Adamu attacked Buhari for his leadership, complaining bitterly about the state of the country and the party.
“Even Buhari himself, what is his impact on the party? Of what value is he to us? How I wish he had contracted coronavirus, so that Osinbajo would take over”, Adamu had said in Fulfulde.
