The Niger State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the sack of its chairman, secretary and treasurer is irreversible.
The trio were sacked about five months ago for alleged gross misconduct, financial misappropriation and abuse of office.

The Caretaker Legal Adviser of the party, Alhaji Khaleel Aliyu, who stated this in a statement in Minna on Tuesday, said with the inauguration of Alhaji Saidu Galkogo as state chairman by the National Caretaker Committee of Alhaji Mai Mala Buni, “this has put paid to any claim Alhaji Jibrin Imam has on the state chairmanship of the party, he should therefore stop groping in the dark”.
