Suspended APC women’s leader in Kaduna breaks silence

The suspended Women Leader of the All Progressives Congress in Kaduna State, Maryam Suleiman, has said she has no regrets over his criticisms of Governor Uba Sani.

Suleiman described her suspension by the party for criticising the governor as an act of God, adding that she remained unruffled.

The Kaduna State APC leadership had on Sunday slammed Suleiman with indefinite suspension following her criticisms of the state governor, who had complained of inheriting a huge debt from his predecessor, Nasir El-Rufai.

Governor Sani had, on Saturday, during a Town Hall Meeting, lamented that El-Rufai left him $587m, N85bn and 115 contractual liabilities.

Sani said the state was left with a lean purse and too broke to pay workers’ salaries.

However, the APC women leader speaking in the Hausa language in a viral video, berated the governor over his remarks.

In the said video posted on social media, Suleiman accused Governor Sani of mismanagement and advised him to refrain from attributing his failures to El-Rufai.

She added she was only aware of her purported suspension on social media, noting that 24 hours after the announcement, she had yet to be served any letter of suspension from her Nasarawa/Malaki Ward.

“I only read of my suspension on social media. I am yet to receive any suspension letter from our party,” she said.

She said she stood by what she said in the viral video, saying that what the governor did, was a clear case of betrayal.

According to her, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai did everything for Uba to become a senator and later governor, she said in the controversial video.

She also advised the governor against setting himself against El-Rufai, whom she described as “our leader.”
