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.
Suspended APC woman leader unbothered
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 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.
