APC sacks Gombe State exco, approves caretaker officers

The All Progressives Congress, APC, National Working Committee, NWC, on Thursday announced the dissolution of its Executive Committee in Gombe State.
A statement released by the party’s National Secretary, Mai Bala Buni in Abuja, said the decision was taken following “irreconcilable differences” at the top hierarchy of the state chapter.

The party said it adduced from testimonies from the State Executive Committee members that the internal crises led to the creation of factions.


According to the statement, “The National Working Committee of our Party in exercise of its powers contained in Article 13.4 (xvi & xvii) of the Party’s Constitution resolves as follows:

“Accept the resignation of Mr. Karu Ishaya and Mr. Sallau Manu Pindiga as State Deputy Chairman and State Secretary respectively.
