The Jigawa State All Progressives Congress has suspended the federal lawmaker representing Auyo/Hadejia/Kafin Hausa, Ibrahim Auyo, and six other party officials.
This was contained in a statement signed by the state Publicity Secretary of the party, Bashir Kundu, and made available to journalists in Dutse, the Jigawa State capital, on Monday.
Also on Monday, Governor Umar Namadi ordered the indefinite suspension of four political aides with immediate effect.
The development followed the recently concluded primaries of the APC in the state.
The PUNCH reported that Auyo lost the APC ticket during the exercise, but he was received by a large crowd of supporters in his constituency.
