The statement read, “Sir, it may interest you to know that, the findings of that committee as contained in its report dated 15 July, 2023 equally fingered Hon. Aminu Sani Jaji and his direct involvement in Anti-Party activities and recommended for his immediate suspension from the party pending the review and deliberations by the State Disciplinary Committee and subsequent ratification by the State Executive Committee.

“Sir, the 7-Man State Disciplinary Committee also recommended his suspension from the party having failed to appear before the committee despite several invitations given to him, now the State Executive Committee has reviewed the earlier findings made by the State Disciplinary Committee and agreed with its recommendations and resolved to suspend him based on the findings. (A copy of the facts finding and Disciplinary Committee Reports dated 15th July 2023 and 20th August 2023 respectively attached for your perusal).
