Policemen have cordoned-off the headquarters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Jigawa State following a leadership crisis.

Residents of Dutse, the state capita, woke up yesterday to find officers of the Nigerian Police blocking all routes leading to the headquarters of the party, stopping all passersby and motorists from passing through.

It would be recalled that the embattled state APC acting chairman, Alhaji Habibi Sara, was alleged to have fallen out of favour with the governor, leading to the announcement of his suspension by the party.

Meanwhile, the suspended party chairman declared to newsmen that his suspension is null and void, citing that the party constitution was not followed before the action was taken against him.

There were insinuations that the suspension of the APC acting chairman may not have been unconnected with politics of 2013 as he was alleged to be rooting for a particular candidate for the governorship election.

He was also alleged to have been a snitch by revealing sensitive and top party strategies to those people he was accused of fronting for.

The state public relations officer of the party, Alhaji Nasuru Jahun, who confirmed the suspension of Alhaji Habibi Sara, told our reporter that the caucus and top party officials are currently holding meetings and would address the press later. (Daily Sun)
