The Takum Local Government executive of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has dismissed the purported suspension of David Jimkuta, the senator-elect for Taraba South.

A faction of the party had accused Jimkuta of anti-party activities during the last governorship election and suspended him from the APC.

But Mijinyawa Salihu, the party’s chairman in Takum LGA, described the suspension of Jimkuta as a nullity.

Salihu, while addressing newsmen in Jalingo, the state capital yesterday, said the purported letter expelling the senator-elect was fake and should be disregarded.
