All Progressives Congress (APC) in Bauchi State, yesterday, suspended its chairman, Babayo Aliyu Misau, over alleged anti-party activities during the March 18 governorship election.
His suspension was announced at a press conference jointly held by the executives of his ward, Kukadu Gundari under Misau local council, Bauchi State.

Speaking at the conference, Aliyu Hassan Adamu, the ward secretary, said other offences committed by Alhaji Misau include displaying his ballot papers during the governorship and state house of assembly elections, where he did not vote for the APC in the governorship ballot paper.
