APC Counters Ganduje’s Suspension, Sacks Ward Leaders For Anti-party Activities 

By Damilare Adeleye

Kano State Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress has suspended some Ward party leaders, who earlier suspended the National Chairman of the Party, Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, from the party.

It was learnt that APC Ganduje ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government suspended Ganduje from the party over allegations of bribery and misappropriation of funds levelled against him by the Kano state Government.

However, 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 newsmen that those behind the suspension of the National Chairman were caught in anti-party activities and their records of meetings with the opposition have been exposed.

Adopting the suspension of the APC Ward leaders, the state working committee of the Party said they have 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 since 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.”
