JUST IN: Kano APC counters Ganduje’s purported suspension, sacks Ward leaders

The All Progressives Congress (APC) state working committee in Kano State, has taken drastic measures against some Ward Party Leaders who suspended the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.

Ganduje ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government was said to have suspended the National Chairman but in a quick counter, the party’s local government officials thwarted the suspension and sacked those behind it.

The APC Dawakin Tofa Local Government Chairman, Inusa Dawanau, told journalists that those behind the suspension of the National Chairman were caught in anti-party activities and their records of meetings with the opposition, exposed.

Adopting the suspension of the Ward leaders, the State Working Committee of the party said it has sanctioned the perpetrators for six months and a special investigations panel has been set up to verify several allegations against them.

The Kano Chairman of the Party, Abdullahi Abbas, said the decisions of the LG Party Leaders have been adopted.

“We have evidence of meetings between the state government officials and those that suspended the National Chairman.

The state working committee has agreed to sanction them for six months and they stand now suspended.”

However, one of the accused party leaders Halliru Gwanjo said they decided to suspend Ganduje from the party due to the allegations levelled against him by the Kano State government on bribery.
