APC Suspends Nasarawa Deputy Governor For Criticizing Party Order To Block Federal Govt Activities.

**I made a statement as a Nigerian not as Deputy Governor. We should be able to differentiate between party interest and National interest.

The NasarawaState Deputy Governor, Damishi Barauhas dared his party, the All Progressives Congress, APC, saying he stands on his earlier position criticising the party’s stance.
Earlier he had criticised the APC when the party asked its federal lawmakers to frustrate executive bills until the political crisis in Rivers State is resolved.

He was subsequently suspended by the APC, in an announcement by its Nasarawa State chairman, Stanley Buba.
Returning from the United States in the early hours of Sunday and refusing to make comments on his suspension, he said he has a right like any other Nigerian to voice his opinion.

“I made a statement as a Nigerian not as deputy governor. We should be able to differentiate between party interest and National interest because it is not all Nigerians that belong to political parties," he said adding that the APC should have considered the plight of those who are not politicians before taking such position.

APC leadership last month warned members not to express their grievances about the party in public, as that will lead to their suspension or outright expulsion from the party. - Hope For Nigeria.
