The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kebbi State has suspended Muhammad Shehu Koko, a former member of the House of Representatives for Koko/Maiyama Federal Constituency, along with nine party officials in Koko Local Government Area.
The suspension was due to alleged anti-party activities, disloyalty, and harassment of the party’s executive members.
Those suspended include Muhammad Danyado, APC Vice Chairman of Koko LGA; Biyaminu Muhammad, Secretary; and Talatu Zauro, Women Leader, as well as the youth leader, financial secretary, welfare secretary, and other party officials.
Associates of the former lawmaker hinted that the suspension might be linked to his reported intention to contest for a senatorial seat, which has allegedly unsettled influential figures within the APC in Kebbi State.
Meanwhile, the Kebbi State Government has announced the release of over ₦266 million for the payment of tuition fees for 100 students of Kebbi origin studying in India.
Governor Nasir Idris’ leadership has been praised for promoting academic and moral excellence in the tertiary education sector.
The Commissioner for Higher Education, Isah Tunga, described the governor’s efforts as a significant step towards taking education to greater heights.
