Another group of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has emerged as the “authentic members” of Ganduje ward in Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State, and slammed a fresh suspension on the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.
Ganduje was last week suspended by another faction of the party executives in his ward led by Haladu Gwanjo.
Citing alleged corruption among other offences, Gwanjo said that the decision to suspend Ganduje was taken by nine executive members of the party in Ganduje ward.
But another faction represented by Ahmad Ganduje emerged to declare support for the national chairman, insisting the ward officials were satisfied with his leadership style.
However, in yet another twist, the group led by the secretary of the ward Jaafar Adamu told journalist on Sunday that eleven of the twenty-seven executive members of Ganduje ward are the legitimate ward excos legally elected on July 31, 2021 and is issuing fresh suspension on Abdullahi Ganduje.
“We are the authentic executives of Ganduje ward and have passed a vote of no confidence and imposed new suspension on Dr Umar Ganduje.”
He further outlined reasons for the suspension, noting that the embattled APC national chairman has not been paying his statutory party dues.
“We have suspended Dr Ganduje membership for creating internal conflict among party members at ward level, anti-party activities during the 2023 general elections.”
Adamu Jaafar, who is also a nephew to the former governor of Kano State, emphasized that the two factions claiming to be executives are imposters orchestrated by Ganduje and other bad elements in the party.
