Kebbi APC Chairman and Zuru LGA Leader Suspended
The Kebbi State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has placed its State Chairman, Abubakar Kana‑Zuru, and the party’s chairman in Zuru Local Government Area, Aliyu Abubakar Abiola, on suspension.

The suspension of Aliyu Abubakar Abiola as APC chairman in Zuru LGA was also confirmed, although the party did not specify the duration of the sanctions or indicate whether disciplinary proceedings would follow.
