The All Progressives Congress(APC) says it has expelled Abdulmumin Jibrin from the party for indiscipline and disrespect to duly constituted authority.

Jibrin, lawmaker representing Kiru/Bebeji Federal Constituency of Kano State, is currently serving a one-year suspension from the house of representatives over the allegations of budget padding he levelled against Yakubu Dogara, Speaker of the house, and other principal officers of the lower chamber.

He is also “barred from positions of responsibility in the house until the end of the 8th assembly”.

On Thursday, chairman of Bebeji local government chapter of the party, announced Jibrin’s sack from the party, saying: “The party will not condone indiscipline and disrespect to leaders or duly constituted authority. We hereby inform the world that Jibrin has been expelled from our great party.”

When the house suspended Jibrin in September 2016, it said he had breached legislators’ privileges.

The latest setback for Jibrin’s political career comes three days after the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) invited him to volunteer more information on his allegations of corrupt practices and abuse of powers against Dogara and co.
