The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Yola South has suspended its caretaker chairman, Suleiman Adamu for praying the death of President Muhammadu Buhari.
The audio clip of the purported prayer saw the chairman wishing that Covid19 kills the president while he pledged allegiance to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.
In its reaction, the Adamawa chapter of the party condemned Adamu for praying for the president’s death and went on to relive him of his duties.
In a statement signed on Tuesday by the spokesperson of the party in the state, Mohammed Abdullahi revealed that the APC Local Government Vice Chairman, Adamu Majekano has been mandated to take over as Acting Chairman, Yola South.
The Statement:
“As a party, we came across an audio clip that is widely circulating in the social media which emanates from the Stakeholders meeting of our party in YolaLocal Government Area. In light of the above, we had an emergency SWC meeting today (10/08/2021) where the clip was replayed, digested and deliberated upon.
“At the end, it was observed that some of the words/remarks in the audio clip were most unfortunate and require further investigation. Consequently, a 7-man disciplinary committee has been set up by the SWC to investigate the issues in the audio clip and make appropriate recommendations for action.
“In order to ensure unhindered investigation and fair hearing, the SWC has resolved that the APC Caretaker Chairman, Yola South Local Government (Alh Suleiman Adamu) who is a member of the State Executive Committee be suspended pending the outcome of the investigation by the 7-man disciplinary committee.
“Meanwhile, the APC Local Government Vice Chairman (Alh Adamu Majekano) is mandated to take over as Acting Chairman, Yola South.”
