Former Kano State governor and APC chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is unhappy with the Governor Abba Yusuf led New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) administration of Kano state for allegedly masterminding what it termed as “the political persecution” of its National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

APC, in a statement by its national publicity secretary, Mr Felix Morka, described the purported suspension of Ganduje by the Executive Committee of the Ganduje Ward in the Dawakin Tofa local council of Kano State as a downright criminal act, and of no effect whatsoever.

It noted: “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 NNPP.”

Applauding the Executive Committee of the Ganduje Ward for denouncing the action, APC reaffirmed Ganduje as a bonafide member of the Party in the Ward, and in good standing.

The Party also 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.
