2023: Nasarawa APC voids suspension of party members

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Nassarawa Eggon Local Government Area of Nasarawa State has voided the alleged suspension of some party ward executives and a local government official in the area.

Mathew Duniya, the APC chairman in the area, said this in a statement he signed and made available to newsmen on Wednesday in Nassarawa Eggon.

He said withdrawing the suspension was to unite members and ensure the victory of the party in the upcoming February and March general elections.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the social media and some quarters had speculated that Malle Moses, the Deputy Chairman of APC in the local government from Ubbe ward, was suspended.

The rumour also said three other party officials were suspended from the same ward.
