The Jigawa State House of Assembly has suspended the Speaker of Auyo Legislative Council, Haruna Maigari, over alleged anti-party activities that officials say threaten All Progressives Congress unity at the grassroots.

The decision was taken during plenary on Tuesday at the Assembly complex in Dutse, the state capital, as the party continues to deal with the fallout from recent primaries.

The PUNCH correspondent gathered that the action comes amid a wave of suspensions across Jigawa APC following the recently conducted primary election.

Several special advisers and special assistants have already been suspended statewide over alleged anti-party activities from state level down to local government level.
