APC suspends state women leader in Kaduna

The Kaduna State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Badarawa/Malali ward has suspended Hajiya Maryam Mai-Rusau, the State Women leader for reportedly defendingĀ  former Governor Nasir El-Rufai over the alleged recent controversy on the state’s huge debt.

The suspension was contained in a letter co-signed by the Ward Chairman and Secretary, Ali Maishago and Zakka Bassahuwa, respectively and made available to newsmen on Sunday in Kaduna.

It said: ā€œThe Badarawa/Malali Ward APC Executive Committee after due deliberations and careful examinations on the viral video clip released on 30th March, 2024 via social networks; Facebook, Whats-app, and Tiktok, which is against the constitution of our dear party, APC as stated in article 21.2 (v).

ā€œIn view of the above, below are the gross misconducts where the subsequent suspension relied upon:

ā€œDefamation of the character of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State,Ā  Malam Uba Sani.

ā€œUnauthorized publicity of the party’s dispute that discredited the personality of the Executive Governor of Kaduna State.ā€

Governor Uba Sani on Friday lamented the high debt profile he inherited from his predecessor, Nasir El-Rufai.

Sani, who spoke at a town hall meeting in Kaduna said his administration inherited a debt burden of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities from the El-Rufai administration.
