Karu Local Government Council of Nasarawa state have expressed their disapproval of a recent statement allegedly described as a derogatory statement issued by the former Executive Chairman of the council, Samuel Gajere Akala.
This was contained in a press statement signed by Umar Suleiman Gurku, Special Adviser to the Executive Chairman Information & Communications and made available to journalists on Tuesday in Lafia.
The statement urged the former council chairman not to drag Hon. James Thomas, the present chairman and Karu local government council as a whole into his political misfortunes.
It could be recalled that the APC at the Panda/Kare Electoral ward of Karu LGA had on Saturday 7th July issued the immediate past Chairman, Samuel Gajere Akala a suspension on issues bordering on anti-party activities displayed through disloyalty to the governor of the state, Abdullahi Sule and the leadership of the party in the state.
Reacting to the development Akala said his purported suspension from the party by the ward chairman of the party lacks the constitutional right to suspend him without due process.
However, the incumbent council boss warned Mr Akala not to take his dignified silence for granted as he is now compelled to respond to his derogatory statement.
The council boss urges security agencies to closely monitor his activities, as his arrogance could potentially lead to destabilization and the sponsorship of thugs in the Karu Local Government Area.
“Hon. Akala has been placed on the security monitor list of Karu Local government area pending further council actions”; part of the statement read.
The council emphasized that the current executive chairman, Hon. James B. Thomas, played no role in Akala’s suspension and urges him to show respect for party executives.
The council also reminded the immediate past chairman of his own past actions, such as delisting and replacing 86 party ward executives who voted against him during the local government APC primaries in 2018, highlighting the poetic justice of his current situation.
The council affirms that Hon. James Thomas, the present chairman maintains a clean record and refrains from engaging in personal attacks, emphasizing that true leadership is defined by character, integrity, and honesty.
The council acknowledges that “political parties have the discretionary power to discipline and promote their members.”
They emphasize that “remaining a member of an association requires intentional obedience to rules and regulations, cautioning against attempting to be more righteous than the party itself.”
