File: Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho

A group of stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress in Kogi East Senatorial District has petitioned the party’s National Working Committee over the reported suspension of Senator Jibrin Isah, popularly known as Echocho, urging the leadership to disregard what they described as politically motivated actions against the lawmaker.

In a statement issued on Thursday and signed by the group’s representative, Ibrahim Mohammed, the stakeholders called on the APC National Chairman, Nentawe Yilwatda, and the National Secretary to critically examine all documents and decisions connected to the senator’s suspension before taking any position on the matter.

The stakeholders specifically urged the party leadership to ignore what they termed a “purported letter of rejection” allegedly being circulated by some party members in the district.

“We are calling on the National Chairman and the National Secretary to ignore the purported letter of rejection currently being circulated.
