Kogi APC: Only Convention Can Expel Party Members

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that the only recognised leadership of the party in Kogi state is that led by Alhaji Haddy Ametuo.

The APC national leadership further averred that it is only the convention that can expel any member, stressing that any disciplinary measure must be differed to the National body.

In a statement as signed by the party’s national secretary, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party stated that it “wishes to clarify that neither state nor zonal executives, constituted in whatever name or form can expel anyone from the party. Only convention can do so.

“We restate that the State Working Committee of APC in Kogi State led by the Chairman, Alhaji Haddy Ametuo remains the only recognised executive committee of the party in the State.

“Any disciplinary action being contemplated must be referred to the Party’s National Working Committee (NWC). That is the position of the constitution.

“Again, we enjoin all party members at all levels to desist from taking unilateral actions that are likely to further jeopardise the on-going peace process. “
