The Kebbi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended its State Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad Kana-Zuru, and the party chairman of Zuru Local Government Area, Hon. Aliyu Abubakar Abiola, over allegations of gross misconduct and neglect of party duties.
In a statement issued by the State Party Secretary, Alhaji Sa’idu Muhammad Kimba, the party disclosed that the suspensions followed complaints from stakeholders within the Zuru Emirate.
The grievances included lackluster performance, poor engagement with key party members, weak mobilization efforts, and repeated violations of party rules and procedures.
Following an internal investigation, the party took disciplinary action, resulting in:
· Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad Kana-Zuru – suspended as State Chairman, with the Deputy State Chairman stepping in as acting chairman pending further directives.
· Hon. Aliyu Abubakar Abiola – suspended as Zuru LGA party chairman.
Commissioner Also Sacked
In a separate development, the Kebbi State Commissioner for Livestock Development and Fisheries, Alhaji Kabir Usman Alaramma, has been suspended from office effective immediately.
A statement from the Secretary to the State Government, Alhaji Yakubu Bala-Tafida, directed the commissioner to hand over all government property and official responsibilities to the ministry’s Permanent Secretary pending further action.
Both suspensions take immediate effect and will remain in force until further notice.
