…Mourns Former National Vice Chairman who died in auto crash
The National Working Committee (NWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has lifted the suspension on Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, Senator Rochas Okorocha, Mr. Osita Okechukwu and Pastor Usani Uguru Usani.
The suspension was placed on them for anti-party activities before the 2019 general elections.
According to Malam Lanre Issa-Onilu, National Publicity Secretary of the party, lifting the suspension “is in line with the party’s deliberate policy of fairness and actions targeted at ensuring harmony within the party across the country.”
He said that through the suspension, “our party has shown the capacity and willingness to implement its own rules and enforce discipline when there is an infraction. We have also shown that no individual is above discipline and that the party would always apply equity and justice in the day –to- day running of the party.
“We hope the concerned party members will seize this opportunity to fully reconcile themselves with their ward, local government, and state party structures, key into the party activities, and continue to make their own contributions to the growth and stability of the party
“We urge them to also take steps to reconcile with groups and individuals that are important to ensuring a lasting solution to any conflict that may exist in their respective states.
Meanwhile, the party has expressed shock at the news of the death of its immediate-past National Vice Chairman (North Central), Alhaji Zakari Abdullahi Idde who died in a fatal car crash.
At the meeting of the Party’s National Working Committee (NWC) on Monday, a minute silence was observed in honour of late Alhaji Zakari Abdullahi Idde who was until his death, the Board Chairman of the Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority. The NWC has sent a delegation to the family of the former National Vice Chairman to deliver the Party’s condolences.
The party described the late Alhaji Zakari Abdullahi Idde as a gentleman, grassroots politician and strong proponent of the APC’s progressive ideals who worked passionately for the unity and growth of our great Party.
