“The Badarawa/Malali Ward APC Executive Committee after due deliberations and careful examinations on the viral video clip released on 30th March 2024 via social networks; Facebook, WhatsApp, and Tiktok which is against the constitution of our dear party APC as stated in the Article 21.2 (V).
“In view of the above, below are the gross misconducts where the subsequent suspension relied upon. (1) Defamation of character of His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kaduna State Malam Uba Sani. (2) Unauthorised publicity of the party dispute that discredited the personality of the Executive Governor of Kaduna State,” the party stated in the letter of suspension.
According to reports, the operatives of the DSS picked up the female politician from her residence on Sunday afternoon.
One of her brothers confirmed the development, saying, “Aisha has just been arrested by DSS at her Tudun Wada residence in Kaduna.”
Meanwhile, the Kaduna state former governor has visited the Borno State Governor, Babagana Zulum, in Maiduguri, the state capital.
