Eko Hot Blog reports that The Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) affirmed its steadfast support for Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman of the party, dismissing reports of his purported suspension.
In a statement released to journalists on Monday, the party’s secretary in the state, Alhaji Zakari Sarina, urged the public to ignore the alleged suspension imposed by a certain faction of the party.
According to him the suspension is invalid because it was initiated by non-members of the party.
“It is impracticable for non-members to slam a national officer with suspension without recourse to laid down procedures as enshrined in the party’s constitution.
“I must make it clear, that we are undeterred by the activities of these impostors because,” Sarina stated on Monday morning.
He stated that their approach lacks finesse and sophistication, showing their political inexperience, especially when compared to the esteemed expertise of Ganduje.

“From available records, those behind the latest oddity are political jobbers who have offered themselves for pecuniary benefits at the behest of dignity,“ Sarina alleged.
He noted that they are not part of the Progressive Party, as a loyal party member would not attempt to undermine a respected member who served as governor for 8 years and later became a national chairman.
The statement added: “It is because they are outsiders; they are simply not aware of the internal workings or ground rules of the APC on disciplinary actions, and they resort to a poor strategy that cannot stand logic and reasons.
“We from the ward, local government level and state are solidly behind our leader who has contributed positively towards the political growth of our party’.”
Sarina asserted that the person who announced the alleged suspension of Ganduje was a member of the New Nigeria People’s Party, who had contested in the counsellorship I election in the Ganduje ward but did not succeed.
He advised the media to be cautious of individuals seeking to exploit their platforms by spreading false information.
“The media should, as a matter of fact, scrutinise issues that are of paramount to the growth of democracy by being the driver of democracy’’, he said.
