Stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kogi East have submitted a petition to the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) over the suspension of a lawmaker within the district.

The party members described the suspension as controversial and urged the national leadership of the APC to review the circumstances surrounding the decision.

According to the stakeholders, the matter has generated tension among party members in Kogi, with calls for reconciliation and internal dialogue to prevent further division.

The petition reportedly requests the intervention of the NWC to ensure fairness and adherence to party procedures in handling disciplinary matters.

Political observers say the development reflects ongoing internal power struggles and alignments ahead of future political contests within the party.

Party officials at the national level are yet to issue a formal response regarding the petition and the suspension dispute.

The situation is expected to remain a subject of political discussion within the APC structure in Kogi East.
