The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Dekina Local Government Area (LGA) of Kogi State, Ibrahim Huseini, has been suspended indefinitely following allegations of financial mismanagement and misconduct.
Huseini, who faced accusations of misappropriating N19 million from the party’s coffers and issuing threats to members, was also accused of engaging in activities detrimental to the party’s interests during the November 2023 gubernatorial election.
In a letter dated January 21, 2024, officials of the PDP in Dekina LGA expressed a vote of no confidence in Huseini, leading to his suspension.
The letter, signed by several party officials, cited Huseini’s disregard for established party procedures and institutions as reasons for his suspension.
“We, the Local Government and Ward Executives of Dekina Local Government Area, Kogi State, suspended you as Party Divisional Chairman on January 15, 2024, following a vote of no confidence by the majority executive at both local and ward levels,” the letter stated.
The suspension stemmed from allegations of financial mismanagement, threats against executive members, and involvement in activities contrary to the party’s interests, particularly during recent elections in the state.
Huseini was directed to surrender all party materials in his possession to the divisional secretary of the party.
The suspension was supported by signatures from key party officials, including Secretary Ademu Yusuf, Assistant Secretary Attai Joseph, Legal Adviser Jacob Atadoga, Auditor John Bala Amedu, Financial Secretary Usman Enema, Treasurer Salisu Shehu, Youth Leader Ayuba Amedu, and Ex-Official Danjuma Muhammed.
Additionally, Women Leader Alima Abuh and Vice Chairman Salami Muhammed Omede were among those who endorsed the decision.
The suspension reflects the party’s commitment to upholding internal discipline and adherence to its constitution.
