By Musa Baba Adamu

The All Progressives Congress, (APC) executives of Birnin Magaji ward in Birnin Magaji Local Government Area of Zamfara have rejected the suspension of Rep. Aminu Jaji by the state chapter of the party.
Jaji represents the Kaura-Namoda/Birnin-Magaji Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives on the platform of APC.
The State APC chapter on Friday announced his suspension over some alleged anti-party activities.
Speaking at a press briefing in Birnin-Magaji on Friday, the APC Organizing Secretary of Birnin Magaji ward, Abba Mamuda, said the party executives from Jaji’s ward were not aware of his suspension.
“On behalf of the 23 APC executive members of this ward, we totally reject the suspension of Aminu Jaji from APC.
“We have no hand in writing any petition or suspension letter to the state against Jaji.
“We have no complaints or grudges against Aminu Jaji considering his service to the party and the entire people of Kaura-Namoda/Birnin-Magaji constituency and Zamfara State,” he said.
Madua, therefore, called on the state APC leadership to review Jaji’s suspension ‘with immediate effect.’
He said, “We are highly disappointed with the action taken against Aminu Jaji by Zamfara APC leadership.
“We have no confidence in the current APC leadership in the state and Birnin-Magaji Local Government Area.
“The state party leadership is violating the party’s constitutional provisions and guidelines.”.
Also speaking, the Vice Chairman of APC in the ward, Isuhu Masko, described Jaji as a ‘father of APC in Birnin-Magaji and Zamfara state.
“As a lawmaker, Jaji is a true democrat, a grassroots representative, therefore, the APC leadership should be proud of him and not think of giving him a suspension.
“We are totally not in support of the suspension of Jaji from the APC.
“We are in solidarity behind Hon. Aminu Jaji as our leader in APC,” Masko averred.
