The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has moved to douse the embarrassment and commotion provoked by some ward party leaders who on Monday announced the suspension of the national chairman of the party, Umar Abdullahi Ganduje.
Leaders in Ganduje’s ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government had earlier announced his suspension. However, the party’s local government officials swiftly countered the suspension and removed those responsible. The APC Dawakin Tofa Local Government chairman, Inusa Dawanau, disclosed that those behind Ganduje’s suspension were engaged in anti-party activities, and their meetings with the opposition were uncovered.

Abdullahi Abbas, the Kano APC chairman, stated that the decisions of the LG party leaders have since been implemented.
He stated: “We have evidence of meetings between state government officials and those who suspended the National Chairman.” The state working committee agreed to sanction them for six months, and they are now suspended.”
However, Halliru Gwanjo, one of the accused party men against Ganduje, stated that they decided to suspend him from the party due to bribery allegations levelled against him by the Kano state government.
