KANO, North-West, Nigeria – The crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Kano State has taken a fresh dimension, as a new executives from Ganduje ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area has emerged.
The new exco issued a fresh suspension on the acting National Chairman of the Party, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
The new group from Ganduje ward claimed to be the legitimate ward excos, legally and validly elected on July 31, 2021.
Addressing newsmen in Kano, on Sunday, Secretary of the ward, Ja’afar Adamu Ganduje, who spoke on behalf of 11 other executive members explained that the suspension of the former governor of the state is necessitated on allegation of anti-party activities exhibited by the former governor which led to division and failure of the party during the last election.
Adamu, who is Ganduje’s nephew also accused him of igniting conflict of interest that led to two factional excos in the ward, which brought the party to disrepute in the minds of the public.
He equally alleged that the embattled APC National Chairman has not been paying his statutory party dues among other issues.
“We are the authentic executives of Ganduje ward and we have pass a vote of no confidence and imposed a new suspension on Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for series of reasons.
“First we have suspended Dr. Ganduje’s membership for creating internal conflict among party members at the ward level. Another major reason why the authentic executives resolved to suspend Ganduje is the issue of anti-party activities he generated during the 2023 elections, which resulted to the party’s failure in the state,” he said.
The Scribe emphasized that those two factions claiming to be exco from Ganduje ward are fake and impostors orchestrated by Dr. Ganduje and other bad elements in the party.
He reiterated that the real Ganduje ward leaders would not hesitate to institute a legal action against the two factions who earlier addressed the media claiming to be ward excos.
