In Nigeria, there is often a punishment for everything and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State is emphasising this position. The political party has suspended the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha.
The suspension of the AGF is a punishment, according to what the ruling party is saying.
Elections have come and gone, but not only the losers are feeling the consequences.
Boss Mustapha is also feeling the heat of the election.
The APC says he lost his polling unit to the Peoples Democratic Party in the presidential and governorship elections.
As a result, he has to face suspension.
According to the party, Boss Mustapha did not assist its presidential and governorship candidates in winning.
The chairman of Gwadabawa Ward, who announced the suspension at a press conference in Yola, told the gathering that Mustapha was not committed to the APC’s victory in the presidential election.
He claimed that the indefinite suspension was the result of complaints from his ward and that no one could be above the party that provided them a platform.
State Working Committee (SWC) Disagrees
However, he party’s State Working Committee, led by acting chairman Chief Samaila Tadawus, said the suspension was “unconstitutional, null and void, and of no effect”.
The Adamawa State APC SWC also directed the Yola North local government executive committee to form a disciplinary committee immediately to investigate and recommend appropriate action.

Dr. Raymond Chidama, the party secretary who addressed journalists on behalf of the SWC at the party’s secretariat, frowned at the penchant of party members.
He said: “We hereby state clearly that such suspension is unconstitutional, null and void, and is of no effect.
“The state working committee has warned the ward executives in the past to desist from this act of targeting elders of the party and disregarding constitutional provisions.
“Appropriate sanctions will be applied after thorough investigations”.
