The All Progressives Congress (APC) has issued a formal warning to the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Ata, over statements he reportedly made regarding internal party affairs and political aspirants.
In a letter signed by APC Kano State Chairman, Hon. Abdullahi Abbas, circulated last Friday, the party expressed concern that the minister’s comments could spark misunderstandings and disunity among party members.
The letter emphasized that internal party administration is the exclusive responsibility of APC leadership and its designated spokespersons.
The party cautioned that, although Hon. Ata is entitled to support any aspirant of his choice, as a Federal Executive Council member, he is expected to foster unity and refrain from remarks that could be interpreted as official party positions.
The correspondence also noted a pattern of unguarded public comments by the minister and warned that continued behavior of this kind may prompt further disciplinary action.
Copies of the letter were shared with senior party figures, including President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC National Chairman Prof. Nentawe Goshwe Yilwatda, former Kano Governor Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and the APC North-West Zonal Vice Chairman.
As of the time of reporting, Hon. Yusuf Abdullahi Ata had not issued a response to the party’s warning.
