The state chapter of the All Progressives Congress has suspended the Deputy Governor of Kogi state, SIMON ACHUBA for alleged anti-party activities before, during and after the 2019 general elections.

The party based the suspension on some actions the embattled deputy governor took that constitute an embarrassment to APC family in Kogi state.

State APC chairman, ABDULLAHI BELLO, told reporters in Lokoja the party received several petitions from stakeholders in Iyano ward, Ibaji Local Government Area, where the Deputy Governor hails from.

He added that the decision of the state working committee will be communicated to the APC National Working Committee in due course.

Just in the week, the state House of Assembly also commenced impeachment proceedings against the Deputy Governor for gross misconduct.
