The executive members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Ward 8 in Etsako East Local Government Area of Edo State have announced the suspension of their Ward Chairman, Hon. Musa Abdulahi.
This development follows his alleged complicity over anti-party activities, gross misconduct and insubordination, refusal to heed to requests to convene meetings and explain his involvement over the embarrassment caused against the illustrious son of Okpella and member house of representatives.
The suspended chairman has been accused of failing to effectively lead the party in the ward in accordance with the APC’s constitution and in line with laid down principles. Among the allegations leveled against him are misappropriation of funds allocated for mobilizing party members to collect INEC voter cards and collusion with opposition parties to undermine the APC’s operations. These actions, described as anti-party activities, have been deemed detrimental to the party’s integrity and objectives.
The suspension took immediate effect on Tuesday December 31st 2024, following the numerous invitations to convene meetings since December 26th, 2024 but reportedly called the invitations a bluff.
Aside his suspension, the ward executive members have also ordered that Mr. Musa Abdulahi should immediately return all party properties and official documents currently in his possession.
He has also been warned to cease parading himself as the APC Ward 8 Chairman or as a member of the party. Failure to comply with these directives will result in legal action, including charges for criminal offenses.
The APC constitution clearly empowers the majority of ward executives to suspend any executive or party member found guilty of actions that violate the party’s principles and constitution. This decision underscores the party’s commitment to maintaining discipline, internal democracy, accountability, transparency and integrity among its members at all levels of the party.
The ward executive has reaffirmed its support to the rep. member, stressing that no Rep. member has ever performed the way he is performing wonders through his developmental projects. His projects is a testament and dedication to strengthening the party’s presence and ensuring that its leadership aligns with the values and vision of the APC under the leadership of Hon. Anamero Dekeri DANCO, member representing Etsako federal constituency.
