Another faction of the All Progressives Congress in Ganduje Ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State has suspended the APC National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, from the party.
Haladu Gwanjo, who claimed to be the Legal Adviser of another APC faction in Ganduje Ward, announced the suspension of Ganduje, the immediate past governor of Kano State, on Saturday, April 20, 2024.
Gwanjo, who cited alleged corruption and other vices as reasons for the suspension, said the decision was taken by nine executive members of the party in Ganduje ward.
Another faction represented by the Ward Chairman, Ahmad Ganduje, however, came out to declare support for Ganduje, saying the ward officials were satisfied with his leadership style.
In passing the vote of confidence on Ganduje, the factional ward chairman urged all party members in the ward and across the state to remain calm and law-abiding.

However, in a new twist in the early hours of Sunday, another group, which claimed to be the legitimate executive, again announced the suspension of Ganduje.
Addressing journalists, the secretary of the faction, Ja’afar Ganduje, who spoke on behalf of other executive members, hinged the suspension on alleged anti-party activities by Ganduje.
He said this was particularly during the 2023 general election.
Ja’afar also alleged that the APC chairman failed to pay his statutory dues to the party.
He further blamed Ganduje for contributing to the factionalisation of the APC at the ward level, which he said had brought the party to disrepute.
Ja’afar said: “We are the authentic executives of Ganduje ward and we have passed a vote of no confidence and imposed a new suspension on Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje for a series of reasons.
“First, we have suspended Dr Ganduje’s membership for creating internal conflict among party members at the ward level.
“Another major reason why the authentic executives resolved to suspend Ganduje is the issue of anti-party activities he generated during the 2023 election which resulted to the party’s failure in the state.”
