A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna state has suspended Nasir el-Rufai, governor of the state, for six months.
El-Rufai’s suspension is coming three days after the faction, known as Kaduna Restoration Group, issued him a query and suspended three of his aides.
The faction led by Suleiman Hunkuyi, senator representing Kaduna north central, had accused el-Rufai of “an [PHOTO] Obasanjo Calls For Reconciliation, Oneness As He Attends Church With Jonathan In Bayelsati- party activities and anti-human activities”.
Hukunyi had said if the governor did not respond to the query within 48 hours, “the state working committee will sit down and deliberate”.
In a statement on Sunday, the faction said el-Rufai refused to honour the invitation to defend himself over the allegations levelled against him.
It subsequently concluded to suspend him for six months with immediate effect.
