The five-member Disciplinary Committee set up by All Progressives Congress (APC) has received a report and evidence of alleged anti-party activities against its Deputy National Chairman (North), Mr Lawal Shuaibu.

Zamfara State Executive Committee of APC submitted the report to the committee on Tuesday in Abuja.

The committee also received report against the former Governor of Zamfara, Mr Abdulaziz Yari, on his alleged role in the 2019 electoral misfortune of APC in the state.

Zamfara APC Publicity Secretary, Mr Mohammed Bakyasuwa, who led other officials of the party to APC National Secretariat to submit the reports, made it available to journalists.

According to the report, the duo allegedly breached Article 21(a) 2014 of APC Constitution as amended.

“We are going to prove that we are not just bragging, and we mean it, we have drawn the battle line with Yari’s group.

“We have realised that the two men were behind the misfortunes of the party, and we need to expel them to prepare for challenges ahead,” he said.

APC Zamfara Chairman, Mr Surajo Garba, blamed the party’s misfortune on the action of the two men.

“By this letter and for the above reason, we executive council of APC in Zamfara have firmly resolved to expel Yari and Deputy National Chairman (North), Shuaibu, from the party.

“The attitude and conduct of the personalities have brought APC in Zamfara to a state of disrepute and a clear flagrant disobedience to party,” he said.

It would be recalled that Supreme Court in a unanimous judgement on May 25, declared that APC in Zamfara had no candidates in 2019 general elections.

This, it explained, was because the party failed to conduct recognised primaries in accordance with party rules.

The apex court held that all votes cast for APC during the general elections in Zamfara were “wasted votes”.

He, therefore, declared that all political parties with the second highest votes in the elections and with the required spread, were elected to various elective positions in the state.
