There had been reports Ibrahim that was facing impeachment from his colleagues in the APC Ilorin West Ward Chairmen Forum for allegedly “attending a meeting with saboteurs” claiming he went to represent the interest of the forum, the report added.
The spokesperson of the forum and chairman of Oju-Ekun ward, Ganiyu Adeyi had reportedly told an online news medium, that Ibrahim exhibited acts of indiscipline which should not be allowed to go unpunished.
The APC Ward Chairmen Forum also described other people that attended the meeting with Abdullahi as anti party members.
But reacting to the issue, Tejidini who reiterated support of the APC in the local government to the State Governor, said there was not division in the party’s fold in the local government.
Tejidinni who spoke through a release he personally signed said “my attention has been drawn to purported news that I, Tejidini Sulyman the chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC), Ilorin West Local Government, suspended one Mr Ibrahim Abdullahi (Badari Ward Chairman) as chairman of all 12 wards chairmen in Ilorin West APC. There is no iota of truth is this news. Hence, it should be disregarded.
“However, the decision of his suspension came among the group (APC Ilorin West Ward Chairmen) which he chaired having accused him of working against the interest of our great party (APC).
“In their unanimous decision, he was immediately replaced by Magaji Ngeri Ward Chairman, Mr Murtala Magaji Ngeri pending the outcome of the findings about his allegation.
“It’s important to understand that we’re unalloyed party men in Ilorin west and nothing has changed. APC Ilorin West remains one and without unequivocal, our loyalty to the party and our Governor, Mallam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq is 100%. It’s our prayer that our Governor will continue to succeed in moving the state to greater heights”, he added.
It alleged that forum’s leadership had unanimously approved the impeachment of Abdullahi as the chairman of APC Ward Chairmen In Ilorin West LGA and Appoints Muritala Ibrahim Magaji Ngeri Ward Chairman as Acting Chairman Of APC Ward Chairmen Ilorin West Forum.
