Another APC Ward faction suspends Ganduje

The political storm may not be over yet for Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as another faction claiming to be authentic members of his Ward in Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State has announced his suspension.

About a week ago, Haladu Gwanjo-led faction of the party’s executives in the Ward suspended Ganduje over what it described as misconduct.

Gwanjo claimed that nine executive members came to the conclusion that the former state governor was corrupt.

Reacting to this development, another faction led by Ahmad Ganduje declared support for the national chairman, insisting the Ward officials were satisfied with his leadership style.

All seemed to be resolved until Jaafar Adamu, leader of another faction in the party, addressed journalists on Sunday to announce that 11 of the 27 executive members of the Ward were duly elected and were issuing a fresh suspension to Abdullahi Ganduje.

Said he: “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 said this fresh suspension was because Ganduje was promoting internal conflict and getting involved in anti-party activities.

“We have suspended Dr Ganduje’s membership for creating internal conflict among party members at Ward level, anti-party activities during the 2023 general elections,” he stated.
