The suspended women leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kaduna state, Maryam Suleiman has said she regrets her criticisms of Governor Uba Sani.

In a telephone interview with The Punch on Monday, April 1, Suleiman described her suspension by the party for criticizing the governor as an act of God, adding that she remained unruffled.

On Sunday, the Kaduna state APC leadership announced the suspension of Maryam Suleiman, its women leader, after she defended the former governor of the state, Nasir El-Rufai.

Her suspension followed her criticism of the claim by the state governor, Uba Sani, that his government inherited a high debt profile from that of El-Rufai.

The governor disclosed that his administration inherited a debt of $587 million, N85 billion, and 115 contractual liabilities from his predecessor.

However, the women leader of the APC in the state expressed strong opposition to the governor's remarks, describing him as treacherous.

But on Monday, the embattled women leader said she remained unperturbed by her suspension, insisting that she spoke the truth.

Speaking further, she disclosed that she was only aware of her purported suspension on social media and she has not been served officially. The embattled women leader said she stood by what she said in the viral video.

She noted that what the governor did, was a clear case of betrayal.

“I only read of my suspension on social media. I am yet to receive any suspension letter from our party,” she said.
