“We told them that the 11-month suspension stands and was done in line with the party’s constitution,” Wusono said in the statement made available to Pulse.

He said there is no single individual no matter how highly placed that will be allowed to be above the party.

“The 11-month suspension stands and it was done in accordance with our constitution and powers vested in the leadership."

It was gathered that Shehu Sani had complained to the police concerning the party’s insistence of his suspension despite intervention by the Deputy National Chairman (North-West), of the APC, Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir.
