The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State has suspended a serving member of the House of Representatives, a local government vice chairman and six other party officials over alleged anti-party activities.
The decision was announced by the APC State Executive Committee, which said the action was taken to maintain party discipline and strengthen internal unity.
Among those suspended is Ibrahim Usman Auyo, who represents Auyo, Kafin Hausa and Hadejia Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
Also affected are the Vice Chairman of Auyo Local Government, Ibrahim Ayama, the APC Deputy State Women Leader, Aisha Adamu Auyo, and five other party officials.
In a statement signed by the APC State Chairman, Ahmed Garba, the party accused the affected members of engaging in activities considered harmful to the unity, stability and progress of the APC.
According to the statement, the allegations are connected to events that reportedly took place in Auyo Local Government Area on May 26, 2026.
The party stated that the actions, if proven, could amount to violations of its constitution, including disloyalty and anti-party conduct.
The APC said the suspension takes immediate effect and will remain in place pending the outcome of an investigation by the party’s State Disciplinary Committee.
During the suspension period, the affected members will not be allowed to represent the party in any capacity or participate in official party activities.
The party assured that all those affected would be given the opportunity to defend themselves in line with the APC constitution and the principles of natural justice.
