The Allied People’s Movement (APM) National Working Committee (NWC) has suspended six national officers and three State chairmen for gross misconduct and anti party activities
The affected persons are Mrs Rose Guar, National Treasurer,Nadia Baba, National Financial Secretary,Muktar Sidi, National Publicity Secretary, Abubakar Ahmed, National Welfare Officer,Felix Idowu,National Youth Leader,Rowland Inyama, Vice Chairman South East,Nuhu Soba,Chairman,Kaduna State Chapter,Abram Gyabo, Chairman, Nassarawa State Chapter and Thomas Akosu, Chairman, FCT
A signed Statement by the Party’s National Secretary, Oyadeyi Ayodele Adebayo indicates that the suspended officers held a kangaroo meeting and appointed the former national treasurer, Mrs Rose Gyar as the acting national Chairman in flagrant violation of APM constitution.
Article 10(7) of the party constitution provides that, “Two-third majority of the Executive Committee at all levels shall form a quorum” for any meeting at the instance of the national Chairman. Only six out of 20 members of the National Working Committee attended the purported meeting. It is obvious that any decision taken in the meeting was null and void and of no effect whatsoever in the operations of our great party.
Meanwhile, a 3 man disciplinary committee led by Bar Ken Ikeh, Hasfat Usman, Secretary and Kalu Njuko has been set up by the APM NWC to investigate the allegations, petitions and anti party activities against the suspended officers and report back to the NWC in two weeks.
The Statement reaffirmed the vote of confidence passed on the National Chairman, Alhaji Yusuf Mamman Dantalle by the National Executive Committee (NEC) in its meeting held on 5th February 2022, in Abuja.
“NWC is aware of external forces that want to destabilize the party ahead of the 2023 general election. The party remains focused in its determination to win future elections and has released its timetable and guidelines for the 2023 general election duly acknowledged and published by INEC”.
The APM restated it commitment as a mass movement and formidable opposition party ready to rescue the nation from inept leadership and return power back to the people on whom sovereignty resides.
