In a briefing to journalists in Jalingo, the APC party’s South Zonal Chairman, Hon Dauda Ayuba Dakinjo said El-Sudi had been removed from his position as Zone chairman because he was fomenting discord within the party.
El-Sudi has been the chairman of his party since he took office, and vehemently denies making any decisions alone.
He claimed that the decision has caused disaffection and disharmony in the All Progressive Congress (Apc) state chapter of Taraba.
“His attitude has ridiculed APC, disaffection, and unnecessary litigation.
“Don’t forget, a few days ago, the Supreme Court canceled the gubernatorial primary election and some other primary elections held by the party in the state.
“In large part, the issues led to litigations which resulted from El-Sudi’s inability to reconcile and accommodate varied interests within the party.
“Again, the five local government chairmen removed and replaced by El-Sudi were reinstated by the court but El-Sudi has deliberately refused to obey the judgment of the court” he said.
Despite the Court's ruling that El-Sudi had no authority to oust the five chairmen, he recently went ahead to purportedly remove two (2) chairmen of Lau and Jalingo Local Governments which was revolt and same led to serious tension which threatened security and peace within the entire APC family and supports in the state.
“We, the entire Exco of Taraba state APC hereby resolved to disassociate our good selves with the unconstitutional manner of removing an elected officer of the Party with reference to aforementioned chairmen.
“In all, the conduct of El-Sudi to favor some party members and disfavor some, and not to provide level playing ground and fairness to all party members, has created widespread disaffection among party faithful.
“In view of all the above infractions by El-Sudi and his retrogressive style of leadership, we passed votes of no confidence on him to continue as the Taraba State APC chairman.
“We have therefore invoked the powers conferred on us by Article 21(d)(vi) of the APC Constitution and have removed him from office as the APC Chairman Taraba State” he added.
