Eko Hot Blog reports that, in a dramatic turn of events, the former governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, has emerged victorious in his battle to retain his position as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) party.
This follows a court order that stopped Ganduje’s purported suspension by his ward executives and barred all respondents from implementing the decisions reached at the executive meeting of the APC held at the Ganduje Ward on April 15, 2024.
Reacting to the development, Ganduje firmly stated that he remains the national chairman of the party. He attributed the attempted removal to a plot by the governor of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Abba Yusuf, to weaken the APC in Kano State ahead of the 2027 general election and other upcoming electoral contests.
“In fact, what is happening is that it is an incursion into our political party by the NNPP government of Kano in order to destroy our party. They are so concerned that in their first year in office, they have seen their failures right from the destruction of the economy of Kano State to increased political violence in and also destruction of political morality in Kano State,” Ganduje said.
The APC national chairman expressed his gratitude to the party executive members and ward officials from Ganduje Ward for distancing themselves from the purported plot to remove him from the party’s leadership and membership.
