Another faction of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ganduje Ward, Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area, Kano state, on Sunday, announced the suspension of Abdullahi Ganduje, its national chairman from the party.
This is coming few hours after the Ondo APC gubernatorial primary election held yesterday.
However, Haladu Gwanjo, who claimed to be the legal adviser of another APC faction in Ganduje Ward, last week announced the suspension of Ganduje.
Gwanjo, citing alleged corruption and other misconduct, announced the suspension, stating that the decision was made by nine executive members of the party in Ganduje ward.
Another faction, led by ward chairman Ahmad Ganduje, expressed support for Mr. Ganduje, asserting satisfaction with his leadership.
Passing a vote of confidence, the factional ward chairman urged party members to remain calm.
However, in a new development, a group claiming to be the legitimate executive committee again suspended Mr. Ganduje.
Addressing the media, faction secretary Ja’afar Ganduje, alongside 11 other members, cited anti-party activities during the last general election and alleged failure by the APC national chairman to pay statutory dues.
They also accused Ganduje of contributing to party factionalization at the ward level, tarnishing the party’s reputation.
“We are the authentic executives of Ganduje ward and we have passed a vote of no confidence and imposed a new suspension on Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for a series of reasons.
“First we have suspended Dr. Ganduje’s membership for creating internal conflict among party members at the ward level.
“Another major reason why the authentic executives resolved to suspend Ganduje is the issue of anti-party activities he generated during the 2023 elections which resulted in the party’s failure in the state”, he said.
