Governor Muhammadu Jibrilla had to personally intervened between the two where he reproved that the them over the show of shame.

The row ensued during a meeting of party chairmen from the 21 local government areas held at the residence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar with the governor and some party chieftains in attendance.

Eye witnesses told our correspondent that ‎trouble started when the Chief of Staff insisted that he did not recognise Baba-Ahmad as the Yola North party chairman, so he had to leave the meeting.

The meeting continued after party elders appealed to the two personalities to bury their differences but no sooner than the meeting was concluded the two men resumed verbal fight.

Then the Chief of Staff removed his gown and the two men threw punches at each other until the governor held Baba-Ahmad‎ while a party chieftain, Lawalu Gire took hold of the Chief of Staff to end the fight.

Soon after the face off, the APC chairman announced the suspension of the Chief of Staff from the Yola North chapter of the party for I indiscipline.

Baba-Ahmad confirmed the development to journalists and hope for amiably way of resolving the issue as the elders statesmen have sort for peace in the party but attempt to speak to Abba was not successful.

In the same vein the Organising secretary of APC in Adamawa state, Alhaji Ahmad Lawal in a press conference with Journalist in Yola distance the party from any link with Baba Ahmad that is not even a Party Member of APC talk less of holding any LGA leadership of the Party.

“Who is Baba Ahmad in the first place that has the power to suspend anybody in the party he is not a member? For your information Baba Ahmad is never our member and we don’t even know him as a party member in the state”. Lawal said

” Abdulrahaman Abba Jimeta is never suspended and he cannot, is still a party stalwart of repute in this state,” he added
