A faction of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kaduna state has suspended the governor of the state, Gov. Nasir el-Rufai, for SIX months.
El-Rufai’s suspension is coming three days after the faction, known as Kaduna Restoration Group, issued him a query and suspended three of his aides for 18 months.
The faction led by Suleiman Hunkuyi, leader of the faction and senator representing Kaduna north central, had accused el-Rufai of “anti- party activities and anti-human activities”. Hukunyi had said if the governor did not respond to the query within 48 hours, “the state working committee will sit down and deliberate”.
In a statement on Sunday, the faction said el-Refai refused to honour the invitation to defend himself over the allegations levelled against him. It subsequently concluded to suspend him for six months with immediate effect.
