Yusuf Ata, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development
The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State has warned the Minister of State for Housing and Urban Development, Yusuf Ata, over alleged unguarded comments on party affairs.
In a letter signed by the state party Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, and released to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday, the party voiced its concerns.
It said recent media remarks credited to Ata on internal matters and aspirants could mislead members and encourage disunity across the state chapter.
The party noted that only authorised spokespersons may address such issues, adding that Ata holds no communications role within the APC.
It acknowledged his right to support any aspirant but reminded him that his cabinet position requires him to strengthen unity within the party.
The letter accused Ata of making repeated “uncomplimentary and derogatory” remarks and warned that continued conduct of this nature could lead to sanctions. (NAN, but headline rejigged)
