‘I’m Unshakeable,’ Ganduje Tells Kano Gov’t
The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje says he remains the National Chairman of the party, boasting to the Kano State Government that he is unshakeable.
In a viral video, Ganduje was seen amidst a host of party supporters saying that he had met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, adding that the President guaranteed his position as the party chairman.
He said, “Yesterday (Tuesday), I met with the president and I explained to him and he said he is also thankful for what you did. What was done is shambolic. He said you should be patient enough. This seat they are looking up to still stands unshakeable.
“Tell Kano State Government that the seat of National Chairman of APC in Nigeria is on Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. We are here unshakable.”
Daily Trust reports that recently, the APC had accused the Kano State Government of sponsoring elements in Ganduje Ward to announce the suspension of the National Chairman.
However, the government had swiftly denied any involvement, labelling it an “internal crisis” within the APC.
Meanwhile, a Kano State High Court on has affirmed Ganduje’s suspension.
The court, while granting an exparte order, also restrained Ganduje from further parading himself as a member of the party.
The order, a copy of which was cited by Daily Trust, was granted by Justice Usman Malam Na’abba, on Tuesday.
The order followed an exparte motion filed Haladu Gwanjo and Laminu Sani by their counsel Ibrahim Sa’ad.
The plaintiffs, who identified as executive members of APC Ganduje ward, said they brought the motion on behalf of the executive members of the ward.
Gwanjo, who identified as the party’s ward Legal Adviser, was the one that announced the suspension of Ganduje two days ago.
The court ordered, that henceforth, Ganduje should desist from presiding over all affairs of the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC.
