The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Zamfara State, Tukur Danfulani, has been sacked by the ward executive of the party in Galadima, Gusau Local Government Area.
The decision, made by the ward executive led by its Deputy Chairman, Garba Bello and fifteen others, came on Saturday.
Danfulani was ousted over allegations of poor leadership and discrimination against party members who violated APC laws.
He was also accused of favouring individuals not recognized as leaders within the APC in Zamfara State, diverting the party’s activities to them.
Abuhuraira Ilyasu, the Assistant Youth Leader of Galadima ward, who spoke to journalists in Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, said, “On behalf of the leaders of APC Galadima ward in Gusau local government, we are here today 11th May 2024 to impeach the leadership of APC Chairman in Zamfara State, Honourable Tukur Danfulani due to the bad leadership.
“We have the list of all executive members that have signed for the impeachment of the Chairman, we have 16 members out of 27 excos in Galadima ward.”
The ward executive has called on the APC’s national headquarters to take note of their decision and appoint a caretaker chairman for the party in Zamfara State, who will lead the APC in the North-West state.
