The party’s spokesman advised the suspended lawmakers to desist from acts capable of jeopardizing their public image and the legislative House.
He further stated that the party would not only respect the independence of the Assembly but also align with any decisions taken by its leadership.
“APC respects the independence of the House of Assembly and supports any disciplinary measures that make for decorum.”
“We urge the suspended lawmakers to resolve issues using internal resolution mechanism,” he said.
Duke added that the period of suspension is a sign that the development is not a case of a political witch-hunt against any political party.
