Kebbi APC reinstates suspended state chairman, Kana-Zuru

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kebbi State has revoked the suspension of its State Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kana-Zuru, and reinstated him with immediate effect.

The Public Relations Officer, PRO, of the party in the state, Alhaji Isah Assalafi, disclosed this at a press conference held at the party’s state secretariat in Birnin Kebbi on Thursday.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Kana-Zuru was suspended last June following an internal rift within the party.

Assalafi said the Kebbi State Working Committee (KSWC), at its meeting on October 1, considered the circumstances and developments surrounding the suspension and resolved to revoke it.

He recalled that the KSWC had, at its meeting on June 20, adopted Resolution No. KSWC/010/2026, suspending Kana-Zuru from office as the state chairman.

“Having considered the subsequent circumstances and developments relating to the said suspension, the State Working Committee has deemed it appropriate to revoke the same.

“Accordingly, the suspension of Alhaji Kana-Zuru from the office of State Chairman of the APC in the state, pursuant to Resolution No. KSWC/010/2026 dated June 20, is hereby revoked with immediate effect,” he revealed.

According to him, Kana-Zuru is hereby reinstated as state chairman and shall immediately resume the full functions, powers, duties and responsibilities of the office.

He added that the interim arrangement under which Alhaji Adamu Mudi-Augie had been performing the functions of acting state chairman had also been terminated with immediate effect.

Assalafi said Mudi-Augie would consequently cease to act as chairman and resume his substantive position as Deputy State Chairman.

He further said that all official records, documents, correspondence, instruments and other affairs of the office of the state chairman would be handed over to Kana-Zuru.

The PRO said the State Secretary had been directed to communicate the resolution to the appropriate organs of the party.

“Such organs include the national headquarters of the party, for information, records and necessary action in accordance with the party’s constitution and applicable directives.

“The resolution takes effect immediately upon its adoption by the KSWC at its meeting on October 1 at the APC state secretariat in Birnin Kebbi,” the PRO said.
