The All Progressives Congress (APC) party in Taraba State has been hit by a fresh crisis, following the suspension of Senator Yusuf Yusuf A. Yusuf, representing Taraba South. He was suspended by his Njuroje Ward in Sardauna Local Government Area of Taraba State on charges of anti-party activities.
In a letter signed by the acting chairman of Nguroje Ward, Ah. Tukur Jalo Maisamari, and addressed to
Sen. Yusuf A. Yusuf, the Ward EXCO accused the Sen. Yusuf of dishonoring several invitations from them to come and defend himself of several allegations levelled against him.
In the letter, the EXCO told Yusuf, "On 2 May 2023, we unanimously summoned an emergency meeting and resolved with a two-third majority to write and suspend you from our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect, pending whenever the matter brought against you is resolved."

It is in the light of the above that you intentionally refused to honour or defend yourself on the allegations label against you by the party, we assumed you have accepted all that you are being accused of. We, the Ward EXCO, therefore, summoned an emergency meeting on the 2 May 2023 where we unanimously resolved with a two-third majority to write and suspend you from our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) with immediate effect, pending whenever the matter brought against you is resolved.
