“By this suspension, he is to desist from all party activities until when the suspension is lifted.
“The party calls on all its members to be law abiding as we move forward to fulfil our campaign promises.”
According to him, the party had run out options to bring the senator to order, noting that all efforts to make Sani appear before the party’s leadership to clarify certain issues had failed.
Tanko-Wusono listed some of Sani’s offences to include; “undue criticisms of policies and programmes of government both at the federal and state levels and heaping insults and abuses on party leaders through various media platforms.”
He also accused Sani of reckless statement against the Nigerian Army over the clash with members of the Shi’ite sect.
