In a bold move, the All Progressives Congress (APC) state working committee in Kano swiftly responded to the purported suspension of the National Chairman of the Party, Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, by certain Ward Party Leaders. The APC Ganduje ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government had announced Ganduje's suspension, but the party's local government officials intervened promptly, nullifying the suspension and dismissing those responsible.
According to Inusa Dawanau, the APC Dawakin Tofa Local Government Chairman, the individuals behind the suspension were found to be engaged in anti-party activities, with evidence of their interactions with opposition figures coming to light.
In response, the state working committee of the APC endorsed the suspension of the Ward leaders, imposing a six-month sanction on them. Additionally, a special investigations panel has been established to probe various allegations against the suspended individuals.
Abdullahi Abbas, the Kano Chairman of the APC, affirmed the decisions taken by the local government Party Leaders, citing evidence of meetings between state government officials and those involved in the suspension of the National Chairman.
However, one of the accused party members, Halliru Gwanjo, defended their actions, stating that Ganduje was suspended due to bribery allegations leveled against him by the Kano State government.
