The crisis rocking the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano has taken a fresh twist as a new ward executives emerged from Ganduje ward and issued fresh suspension to the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Recall that the leadership of APC at Ganduje ward of Dawakin Tofa Local Government, Mr Ganduje’s hometown, had suspended the former governor of the state over allegations of corruption.

However, the party, at state level, voided the suspension and vowed to sanction those behind what it described as purported suspension after it also disowned them.

But, a Kano state High Court granted an exparte order to affirm the suspension of the embattled former governor of the state on Wednesday.

However, in a dramatic twist, Mr Ganduje approached a Federal High Court in Kano, which also granted him an exparte order to stop his suspension.

In another twist, a group of APC members, who claimed to be from Ganduje ward of Dawakin Tofa Local Government area and said they were validly elected on July 31, 2021, had issued a fresh suspension to the embattled Mr Ganduje.

Addressing journalists in Kano, on Sunday, secretary of APC at Ganduje ward, Ja’afar Adamu Ganduje who spoke on behalf of 11 other executive members explained that the suspension of Mr Ganduje was necessary for alleged anti-party activities which led to division and failure of the party during the last election.

Mr Adamu, who is Mr Ganduje’s nephew also accused him of igniting conflict of interest that led to two factional leadership within the party in the ward, which according to him, brought the party to disrepute in the eyes of the public.

The secretary alleged that the embattled APC national Chairman had not been paying his statutory party dues.

According to Adamu, ” 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”.

Adamu emphasized that those two factions claiming to be executive members from the Ganduje ward are fake and impostors, alleging that it was formed by the former governor to cause division and confusion in the party.

Mr Adamu reiterated that the real leadership of the party at Ganduje ward would not hesitate to institute legal action against the two factions earlier addressed the media claiming to be the executive members.
