The All Progressives Congress executives in Dawakin Tofa Local Government and the Ganduje Ward Executive Committee members have faulted the purported suspension of the party’s National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, from the ruling party.
The Chairman of APC Ganduje Ward, Alhaji Ahmed Koko, said the purported suspension of the national chairman was announced by non-APC members in the ward.
“Those who addressed the press conference were sponsored by the NNPP state government, and from the record of the party at the Ward, Local Government and State, are not card-carrying members of the APC,” Koko said while addressing a press conference in Kano late Monday evening on behalf of the Ward and Local Government Executive Committee members.
He, therefore, said the purported suspension was null and void and would have no effect on the national chairman.
“The Ward and Local Government Executives, having identified the persons involved in this unfortunate situation, have already prepared to charge them to court for impersonation and calculated attempts to embarrass and dent the image of the Party and that of the National Chairman,” Koko added.
He called on all party members to disregard the purported suspension and remain calm.
Recall that Halliru Gwanjo, who claimed to be the party ward legal adviser, announced the suspension while addressing newsmen in Kano on Monday.
Earlier, the Kano APC chapter, State Working Committee suspended ward party leaders who suspended Ganduje from the party.
But the Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area APC thwarted the suspension and sacked those behind the suspension of Ganduje.
The Chairman, Inusa Dawanau, told newsmen shortly after suspending Ganduje that those behind the suspension of the party’s national chairman were caught in anti-party activities, and their records of meetings with the opposition were exposed.
