<\/p>\n

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has reacted to the suspension of the APC National Vice Chairman (North East), Comrade Mustapha Salihu.<\/p>\n

APC deputy national publicity secretary, Yekini Nabena, declared that those behind the declaration had no such powers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe state categorically that the purported suspension is a nullity as the North East Zonal Office does not have such powers to suspend a National Officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the Party\u2019s constitution, such powers reside with the National Executive Committee (NEC).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever issues there might be, the party structure and constitution provides ample avenues for redress and dispute resolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the North East Zonal Office is unable to achieve a resolution, the National Working Committee (NWC) can and will wade in the matter to achieve amicable settlement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Secretary of the APC in North East Zone, Abubakar Ajiya, had announced the suspension.
\nThe letter read: \u201cHaving failed to fulfill or appear before this Honourable body, the North East Zonal Office called upon at Jose Martins Crescent, Asokoro, Abuja dated 11\/10\/2018.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis letter is an expression of our `Vote of No Confidence\u2019 in Mr Mustapha Salihu based on the power vested on us in artcle 21D: vi, he is hereby suspended with immediate effect for his inability to run the party affairs judiciously, prudently, democratically and accountably.\u2019\u2019<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
