Kebbi State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has revoked the suspension of its State Chairman, Abubakar Muhammad Kana-Zuru, and reinstated him with immediate effect after three months.
The decision was announced on Thursday by the State Publicity Secretary of the party, Alhaji Isah Abubakar Assalafi, while addressing a press conference at the APC State Secretariat in Birnin Kebbi.
Assalafi recalled that the Kebbi State Working Committee (SWC), at its meeting held on June 20, 2026, adopted Resolution No. KSWC/010/2026, suspending Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad Kana-Zuru from the office of State Chairman of the party.
He explained that following a review of subsequent circumstances and developments surrounding the suspension, the State Working Committee resolved to revoke the earlier decision and restore Zuru to office.
According to the resolution adopted at the SWC meeting held on October 1, 2026, at the APC State Secretariat in Birnin Kebbi:
“That the suspension of Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad Kana from the office of State Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kebbi State, pursuant to Resolution No. KSWC/010/2026 dated 20th June 2026, is hereby revoked with immediate effect,” he said.
The party consequently declared Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad Zuru fully reinstated as State Chairman, with immediate resumption of the full functions, powers, duties and responsibilities attached to the office.
The resolution further terminated the interim arrangement under which Alhaji Adamu Mudi Augie had been performing the functions of Acting State Chairman.
The State Working Committee also directed the State Secretary to formally communicate the resolution to the appropriate organs of the party, including the National Headquarters, for information, record and necessary action in accordance with the APC Constitution and applicable directives of the party.
