He listed the affected chairmen as Nuhu Goma (Zuru Council); Aminu Sawwa (Argungu); Abubakar Kudu (Maiyam); Bello Bunza (Bunza) and Bello Gulmare (Gwandu).
Others are Zonal ex-officio, Ibrahim Manzo; Zonal Vice Chairman, Kebbi Central, Abubakar Basse; Muhammadu Ruwa; Zonal Vice Chairman, Kebbi North, Isiyaku Dauda and Udulu Manpower, Acting state Legal Adviser.
Meanwhile, the Ekiti State Working Committee (SWC) has distanced itself from alleged suspension of its members in Oye Council of the state.
Chairman of the council, Sunday Ojo had in a letter dated August 5, 2019 suspended former member of the House of Assembly, Dr. Samuel Omotoso for anti-party activities.
But after its extended meeting yesterday, the party said the action was illegal and an act of insubordination against the party’s organs.
