JUST IN: Crisis Deepens As APC Finally Suspends Fubara

Lagos APC Inaugurates LG Poll Reconciliation Committee

Members and the Ward 4 Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State have suspended Fubara Dagogo following his legal action against the party over its forthcoming convention.

The suspension was announced by the ward leadership after Dagogo reportedly approached the Federal High Court in Abuja seeking to halt the APC’s planned convention.

Dagogo had alleged that he was unfairly excluded from contesting the position of National Vice-Chairman (South-South) despite paying ₦5.1 million for the nomination form.

He claimed that after making the payment, the party failed to issue him the form.

In the suit filed before the court, Dagogo asked the court to suspend the South-South zonal congress, declare him eligible to contest the position, nullify any election conducted without his participation and award him ₦100 million in damages.

However, the Ward 4 executive committee in Bonny said Dagogo’s action amounted to gross misconduct and anti-party activities.

The decision was conveyed by the ward chairman, Richard Ibani, who said the resolution followed a meeting of the committee held on March 16.

The resolution announcing the suspension was also signed by the Ward Secretary, Donald Jumbo, alongside 21 other members of the committee.

According to the ward leadership, Dagogo’s suspension is indefinite and was based on alleged violations of the party’s constitution.

The statement accused him of breaching the APC Constitution, engaging in anti-party activities and making statements capable of embarrassing the party.

The ward executive committee said the alleged offences contravened Article 21.2 (I), (II), and (VII) of the APC Constitution 2022 (as amended).

Ward leaders accuse him of disregarding party rules

Part of the statement read: “The ward exco has always advised its members to desist from actions capable of ridiculing our party, but your recent actions have shown that you are not willing to respect and abide by the constitution and actions of our great party.”

The statement added that the suspension takes immediate effect.

“Your suspension is effective immediately, and we ask the state secretariat to endorse our resolution with the necessary actions,” the ward leaders stated.

“I am Under Pressure”: Top Northern Governor Cries Out 

Published

on

Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has claimed that he has been under pressure to contest for the Nasarawa North Senatorial seat in the 2027 election.

The governor made the disclosure during the visit of the state executive members to his country home in Akwanga LGA on Saturday, March 21.

Governor Sule also revealed the identity of those pressuring him to contest in the election, a development that has led to mixed reactions from Nigeria.

Abdullahi Sule, the governor of Nasarawa State, has claimed that he has been under pressure to contest for the Nasarawa North senatorial seat in the 2027 general elections.

The governor made the revelation while hosting the state executive council members, led by Deputy Governor Emmanuel Akabe, at his residence in Gudi Country Home in the Akwanga local government area of the state.

According to Daily Trust, Governor Sule cited pressure from some stakeholders who are asking him to contest, and the need for Nasarawa North to have quality representation.

With all the pressure coming from our leaders, and so I don’t want them to feel offended that I have not been responding, I promise them I will contest when the time comes.”

Governor Sule disclosed that he had been planning to support one person, but had a change of mind when the person joined the call on him to contest for the position.

He went further to explain that he is consulting with stakeholders before he makes the final decision and that traditional rulers and senior politicians from Nasarawa North are also persuading him to contest for the senatorial seat.

However, the governor’s claim has started generating reactions from the people of the state. Below are some of their reactions:

Mohammed Zakariyau said it is the governor’s interest:

You are interested in going and nothing else because that’s your sole choice, nobody can decide your future for you, and therefore, the issue of ‘under pressure from certain quarters is immaterial here'”.

Cos Mafuyai projected that the governor may not perform if elected as a senator:

“People who are pressured don’t perform once elected, but people who nurse the ambition into elective office and work hard to win do.” 

Bem Haanya urged the governor to be wary of betrayal:

“Na so dem mount pressure on Darius Dickson Ishaku o. Groups from Southern Taraba were flocking to Government House, Jalingo, to persuade him to contest for the senatorial seat, yet on election day, they abandoned him.”

Emmanuel Yohanna Allu questioned the governor’s claim:

“If you want to contest, no one is stopping you, but don’t use the word pressure. If I may ask, who is pressuring you?” 

Longji Goro Job criticised the governor:

“One or two clowns that they normally give pocket money will tell them, ‘Oga, why not go for senate,’ and they will say under pressure.”
