The All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the purported suspension of its national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje as a devious act of imposters, calling it a fake news.
In a press statement issued by the national publicity of the party, Felix Morka on Tuesday, the party accused Kano State governor, Abba Kabir Yusuf, for launching a political persecution against the APC national chairman.
According to him, “The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to media reports of the purported suspension of the National Chairman, HE Dr. Abdulahi Umar Ganduje, from the Party by the Executive Committee of the Ganduje Ward in the Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State.
“The purported suspension was the devious act of a group of impersonators of Ward officials out to cause mischief and create confusion in the otherwise peaceful Ganduje Ward chapter of our Party. The perpetrators of this criminal act are not card carrying members of APC in the Ward but are individuals affiliated with senior officials and representatives of the New Nigeria People Party (NNPP).
“This act procured by officials of the ruling NNPP in Kano is part of the despicable program of political persecution launched by the administration of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf against Dr. Ganduje, a former Governor of Kano state”, it said.
APC said the purported suspension is downright criminal, and of no effect whatsoever as the legitimate Executive Committee of the Ganduje Ward has since denounced the action and reaffirmed Dr. Ganduje was a bonafide member of the party in the Ward, and in good standing.
The party said it has filed a petition with the Inspector General of Police requesting an expedited investigation of this matter and that the perpetrators and their sponsors be brought to justice.
