The national leadership of the All Progressives Congress has disassociated itself from the statement reportedly made by its Kano State chapter suggesting that the Presidency could be involved in the attempt to oust the National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje.
The National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, Felix Morka, stated this when he was featured as a guest on Arise TV on Thursday.
Recall that Kano APC, through its spokesperson, Ahmad Aruwa, had on Wednesday accused the Presidency of undermining and conspiring against the APC national chairman.
In a viral video on social media, he blamed some forces in the presidency for Gandujes travail.
The Kano APC also criticised President Bola Tinubu for not publicly speaking up for the embattled party national chairman, saying Ganduje facilitated his presence in Kano even when some grassroots politicians rejected him.
However, speaking on this, Morka said that, as he couldnt tell the context in which Aruwa made the claim, it was a true reflection of things.
According to him, First, I am just hearing about this. I didnt monitor that information. I wouldnt say much about it. I dont know the context or circumstances in which he made those comments. But the national chairman of APC is still the national chairman and we have the leader of the party who is the president, who, to the best of my knowledge, recognises Ganduje as our national chairman. So nothing has shifted.
We know that the individuals who are behind this move to suspend the national chairman are people without membership in the party and any form of authority. I am sure you saw yesterday that all of the executive committee and members of the ward were at the national headquarters of our party to physically denounce all of the activities that occurred.
We are in a situation where some imposters and outsiders in the party are invoking legal processes to embarrass, create confusion, and disturb the peace of the party in Kano for no reason. From all indications, many of the members who were at that press conference where the announcement was made are individuals we profiled that are connected one way or the other with very senior officials of the NNPP.
