According to Tanimu Abdullahi, the chairman of APC Kashere Ward, Mr Goje and his supporters were suspected of assisting an opposition party in the state during the election. He alleged that the senator gave a directive to some party members to vote for a different party and even gave money to support the cause.
Mr Abdullahi expressed disappointment at Mr Goje's actions, stating that as a beneficiary of the party for a long time, he was expected to be an example but went against the party. He emphasized that the committee would uncover all those involved in the alleged anti-party activities and apply the provisions of the party constitution based on its findings.
The committee has been given 14 days to submit its recommendations to the party at the ward level for necessary action. The ward chairman said the committee's inauguration was to ensure due process, fairness, and justice in line with the party's constitution.
The move by the Gombe APC chapter to investigate Mr Goje's alleged anti-party activities is in line with the party's effort to uphold discipline and ensure that members abide by the party's principles. The party has always emphasized the need for members to put the party's interests above personal interests.
Senator Danjuma Goje has not yet reacted to the allegations against him, but the investigation is expected to reveal the truth about the alleged anti-party activities. The APC has always been known for its strong stance against indiscipline and any action undermining the party's unity.
The committee comprises members with a track record of upholding the party's principles and values. Their selection indicates the party's commitment to ensure that the investigation is carried out objectively and without bias.
The party has reiterated its commitment to discipline any member found wanting of anti-party activities, and the investigation would send a strong message to other members who may be contemplating such actions.
The APC has urged all its members to abide by the party's constitution and work together for the interest of the party and the country. The party has also reiterated that its doors are always open to members with grievances or disagreements with the party leadership.
The committee's report and recommendations would be used to determine the party's following line of action, and the party is expected to take decisive action in line with its constitution.
The APC has called on its members to remain calm and law-abiding while the investigation is ongoing, emphasizing the need to allow due process to take its course. The party has reiterated its commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring justice for all its members.
