By SADIQ ABUBAKAR, Maiduguri –
The Borno State Chapter of the ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC ) has confirmed the suspension letter served to Hon. Barrister Mohammed Umara Kumalia from being a card carrying member of the party following his alleged involvement into anti-party activities.
This is in a swift reaction to a purported letter of resignation from the party which Kumalia claimed to have resigned from the party since March 2022.
The Borno APC in a letter addressed to Hon Kumalia and signed by its Publicity Secretary, Hon Makinta Zarami which was made available to our correspondent on Wednesday, insisted that, the ruling APC has not received any letter from Hon. Kumalia.
The party insisted that the letter of resignation signed on behalf of Kumalia which is circulating on the social media was not only backdated, but fake claims far from the truth.
The letter reads: “RE: SUSPENSION OF HON. KUMALIA FROM APC. Our attention was drawn to a letter dated the 9th day of August, 2022 signed by you (Hon. Mohammed Kumalia) in response to the above captioned subject, copied to the State Chairman of the party as circulated in the social media.
“1. The All Progressives Congress (APC), Borno State Chapter wish to clearly state on record that the letter dated the 8th day of August, 2022 and signed by Mohammed Kagu (Secretary) of Limanti Ward is authentic and same has the endorsement of the State Working Committee (SWC) of the party.
“2. Your purported letter of resignation dated the 21st day of March, 2022 was not received by the party in either the Ward, Local Government or State Secretariats of the party, hence it is an afterthought on your part to cover up your deficiencies.
“3. The party further states that you remain suspended from the party on all the allegations contained in the letter of suspension from Limanti Ward.” Zarami stated.
