In a move that has sent shockwaves through the political circles of Nigeria, the Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has announced that Aminu Sani Jaji, a federal lawmaker, remains under suspension. The decision was made by the state party leadership, which has accused Jaji of misconduct.

According to Mallam Yusuf Idris Gusau, the state APC publicity secretary, Jaji’s suspension was ratified by the state leadership after he was suspended by his ward leaders. Gusau emphasized that Jaji has the constitutional right to gather his political supporters, but he has no right to sack a constituted authority.

The suspension was not lifted despite Jaji’s failure to appeal the decision at the National Headquarters of the party. Gusau warned that the party will take punitive measures against Jaji, citing his actions as a problem for the party.

The development has sparked intense debate among political observers, with many questioning the motives behind Jaji’s suspension. The Zamfara APC leadership has vowed to take the case to the national headquarters of the party, signaling a potential showdown between the state and federal authorities.
