Friday, November 29, 2024 -The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Bauchi State has suspended Habibu Umar, the lawmaker representing Kirfi Constituency in the State House of Assembly.
The lawmaker has been barred from all party activities until further
notice.
In a letter addressed to the Speaker of the Bauchi State House of
Assembly, the PDP State Chairman, Samaila Burga, stated that Umar was found
guilty of insubordination by the party in line with its Constitution.
According to Burga, the lawmaker was issued a query on November 5, 2024,
for violating sections 58 (9) (1) and (f) of the PDP Constitution (2017 as
amended).
Following the report, a disciplinary committee was set up on November
11, 2024, after a thorough investigation, the committee concluded that Umar was
guilty of the charges.
The committee recommended his immediate suspension in compliance with
sections 59 (4) and (5) of the party’s constitution.
“Effective from today, November 25, 2024, Hon. Habibu Umar is barred
from participating in any party activities until further notice,” the chairman
stated.
In another development, a former member of the Bauchi State House of
Assembly, Adamu Bello, has officially rejoined the PDP after leaving the All
Progressives Congress, APC.
Bello, a founding member of the APC in Bauchi State and a key figure in
the Bauchi North Senatorial District, served as the Sole Administrator of Giade
Local Government Area.
The former APC leader, who played a crucial role in securing a victory
for the APC in Giade LGA during the last general elections, cited the ongoing
support of Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, for his people as the primary
reason for his decision to return to the PDP.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Adamu Bello explained that his
constituents urged him to join the PDP in order to better advocate for the
community’s interests.
“I have always been a voice for my people, and they have asked me to
take this step so that we can continue to progress,” Bello remarked.
