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. 

The party made this known in a letter signed by its Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, on Friday.  

It said recent media remarks credited to Mr Ata on internal matters and aspirants could mislead members and encourage disunity across the state chapter.

The party noted that only authorised spokespersons could address such issues, adding that Mr 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 Mr Ata of making repeated “uncomplimentary and derogatory” remarks and warned that continued conduct of such nature could lead to sanctions.
