Kano state – The chairman and secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abdullahi Ganduje’s ward in Dawakin Tofa local government of Kano state said those who announced the purported fresh suspension of Ganduje are not APC members.
The ward executives said no new election was conducted by the state or national body of the APC to herald a fresh leadership.
“To the best of our knowledge, as executive members of Ganduje ward of the APC, there was no new election of new leadership of our party. We remain the same executive of the ward,”

They are not APC members
They accused the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP) government in Kano state of organising bunch of non-APC members to announce the fresh suspension.
Ganduje’s ward executives said the sponsored group did not do their homework properly by using a fake or uncertified headed paper on which they drew a list of non-existing party executives.
“To worsen their situation, the group leader who announced the purported suspension is an NNPP member who contested but lost the councilorship election in Ganduje ward.”
The executive members therefore called on the APC national body and security agencies to facilitate the arrest and persecution of the group for impersonation and calculatingly attempting to cause disaffection in the party.
The ward executives also called on party members to disregard such propaganda aimed at disrupting the party.
Kano court affirms Ganduje’s suspension
Legit.ng earlier reported that the suspension of Ganduje was affirmed by a Kano court.
Justice Usman Malam Na’abba also restrained Ganduje from further parading himself as a member of the APC.
