I’ve not been suspended – Atik

Atik Mohammed, General Secretary of the People’s National Convention (PNC), has dismissed media reports that he has been suspended from the party.

The PNC at its extraordinary National Executive Council meeting held Saturday said Mr Mohammed had misconducted himself, violating the party’s constitution.

A vote of no confidence was reportedly passed on him at the meeting.

But reacting to the news on his Facebook page, Mr Mohammed said: “My attention has been drawn to some news that I have been suspended indefinitely. It is not true and, indeed, no organ of the party save National Congress is clothed with such powers. I will officially be issuing a statement to this effect.”
