Adamawa APC Suspends Ward Exco For Suspending Boss SGF Mustapha
The Adamawa State Working Committee (SWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended Gwadabawa Ward executives of the party for ‘Illegally’ suspending Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha.
The APC executives in Gwadabawa Ward, where Boss Mustapha has his Yola home and regularly casts his vote, had on Thursday announced his suspension for allegedly failing to contribute to the progress of the party.
Moving against the ward executives Saturday afternoon over their “unconstitutional and malicious way of suspending” Mustapha, the state Exco suspended the ward officials.

Secretary of the party in the state, Dr Raymond Chidama, who addressed newsmen on the matter at the party’s state secretariat in Yola, said the SWC, under the leadership of Chief Samaila Tadawus, received the resolution of Yola North Executive on the unconstitutional conduct of the ward Exco members who “went without cogent reason, due process despite lacking in power,” and announced to the media that they had suspended Boss Mustapha from the party.
The party scribe stressed that the suspension of the ward excos followed the recommendation of the Yola North Local Government APC officials, who called for the formation of a caretaker committee, because of the indefinite suspension of the ward Excos.
Chidama said the SWC, upon receipt of the report, formed another committee which studied the report of the Yola North Exco and made their recommendation.
Recalling how ward and state excos recently made similar moves by suspending the North East National Vice Chairman of the party, Mustapha Salihu, and the governorship candidate, Senator Aishatu Ahmed Dahiru (Binani), Chidama cautioned lower-level party executives to be careful of their acts.

He emphasised that the Gwadabawa ward excos were an embarrassment to the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari and that their removal from office and suspension from the party had been approved with immediate effect.
He added that the SWC had also approved a seven-man caretaker committee to replace the suspended executives as the Yola North Local Government Executive Committee recommended.
“All the removed and suspended members of Gwadabawa ward are hereby directed to hand over all party properties in their possession to the chairman of Yola North Local Government Area immediately,” the state party secretary said.

2027: Nobody Wants Fubara – Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed claims that there is widespread support for Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara to return in 2027.
Speaking during his monthly media parley on Wednesday in Abuja, Wike suggested that Fubara can’t claim to enjoy unanimous backing from the public.
He explained that the political crisis in Rivers State had earlier been addressed through the intervention of President Bola Tinubu, particularly during impeachment proceedings initiated against Fubara.
According to Wike, the President advised all parties to embrace peace, leading to the withdrawal of the impeachment move by the State House of Assembly after agreements were reached.

Wike, however, alleged that the governor failed to fully adhere to the terms agreed during the arbitration process.
Reacting to claims that the people were urging Fubara to seek re-election in 2027, Wike rejected the assertion, insisting that such narratives were misleading.
Wike maintained that appearing before the President for arbitration required respect for the outcome, noting that all parties were expected to uphold their commitments.
He said: “The President, intervened in the impeachment proceeding. I said withdraw, let their be peace. And the governor said, look, I’m ready for peace. Look, I’m no longer interested for this. I will not do this. The Assembly went and withdrew the impeachment.
“Having withdrawn the impeachment, he is now too smart on what you agreed before the President. It’s like when you go on arbitration.”

Wike continued, “This one is what I don’t like. Nobody wants anybody. Please, don’t tell me that. Excuse me.
You can go and tell that to the market people or children. Two years that people say he should come out. Who told you that?
“Which politician will say that I was sleeping they came and woke me? Even if people people come to wake you, can’t you say, no, I won’t do it. I’m not prepared for it.
“That you appeared before a President of the country on arbitration, the two parties on arbitration, and these people respected Mr. President, and have done their own part.”
