Gombe, April 18, 2023 – Sen. Danjuma Goje has been suspended from the All Progressives Party (APC).
His suspension was announced on Tuesday after a closed-door meeting of the Kashere Ward Executives.
The Ward Chairman, Taminu Abdullahi, said the suspension was in line with article 21 subsection (1), (2) and (3) of the party constitution, as amended.
He said Goje had been warned of his anti-party activities through a letter, but he never desisted.
Abdullahi alleged that when Goje was invited by the five-man committee to investigate his activities during the last general elections, but he refused to honour the invitation.
“During the election, some of Goje supporters were caught warning people not to vote for any other person in APC other than Senator Danjuma Goje.
“We warned them to stop their actions, but they did not heed out warnings.
“Consequently, I, on behalf of the entire members of Kashere Ward, hereby, expelled Senator Danjuma Goje from the party,” he said.
Gombe APC Chapter has also suspended Senator Bulus K Amos and a House of Representatives member, Yunusa Ahmad Abubakar. for similar offense.
A statement by Mr Moses Kyari, the APC Publicity Secretary in the state, said Amos, representing Gombe South, was suspended by the ward executives of the APC in Bambam Ward of Balanga Local Government.
He said Amos was also suspended over anti-party activities during the general elections.
Kyari said the suspension was due to a petition from his ward which caused a five-member committee to investigate and get to the roots of the matter.
Goje, who represents Gombe Central, has been having a running battle with Governor Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya and party executives leading to his suspension last year.
It was later resolved and he was reinstated to the party before he was able to obtain the party ticket to contest in the February general elections. (GBN)
