<h2>The Kaduna State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the suspension of Maryam Suleiman, its state women's leader.</h2>
<p>In a letter dated March 31st, signed by the APC chairman and secretary of Badarawa/Malali ward, Ali Maishago and Zakkah Bassahuwa, respectively, the party accused Suleiman of gross misconduct</p>
<p>It was stated that the party chieftain was punished for defaming the character of Governor <a href="https://www.naijanews.com/topic/uba-sani/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Uba Sani</strong></a>, and for unauthorized publicity of the party’s dispute that discredited the governor.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Suleiman was accused of sending individuals to attack the political adviser to the governor, <strong>Manzo Maigari.</strong></p>
<p>The letter emphasized that the actions of the women leader are in violation of Article 21, 2 (v) of the APC constitution. The party has decided that the suspension will remain in effect indefinitely until the allegations are thoroughly investigated.</p>
