The secretary said: “Shehu was issued a letter of query and he refused to collect the query. We had no other option than to suspend him from office to move the party forward.”
When contacted, the chairman said he was not aware of his suspension by the party.
“I am not aware and I have nothing to do with the said suspension. Therefore, I remain the acting chairman of the party in Bauchi state,” he said.
