The purported suspension from office of the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress threw up many questions begging for answers. Is the APC walking through another treacherous path that saw the exit of Adams Oshiomhole from that exalted seat?• There will be consequences when the dust settles, says APC spokesmanThe purported suspension from office of the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress threw up many questions begging for answers.
Ganduje, on his part, told whoever cared to know that the Governor Abba Yusuf-led NNPP masterminded the botched attempt to relieve him of his job. Wondering why the opposition NNPP would go out of its way to gather imposters in a desperate bid to score political goals, he vowed to do all within his powers to secure Kano State for President Tinubu.
“We will tell them their intentions will fail; that it is impossible, that it is a falsehood. I am assuring the President that our party in Kano is solid; it is battle-ready in order to keep the votes for the president very high, even the highest in Nigeria,” he added. The chairman of the Bayelsa State chapter of the party, Mr. Dennis Otiotio, told Ganduje to rest assured that he would not be affected by what he termed “the judicial abracadabra” that led to the removal of Oshiomhole from office.
The judge, A. M. Liman, had in suit no. FHC/KN/CS/122/2024, filed by Ganduje regarding the enforcement of his fundamental rights to fair hearing, directed that the ward’s legal adviser, Halidu Maigwanjo, and 13 other respondents be restrained from enforcing the suspension issued by the ward executives against Ganduje, pending the determination of the suit.
The APC scribe was apparently responding to calls by protesters under the aegis of the Guardian of Democracy and Development Initiative , who called on Ganduje to obey the order of the Kano State High court suspending him as a member of the party. “The difference here is that we have pure imposters announcing the suspension of our national chairman and they had gone to court to attempt to affirm that same illegal and criminal act. So, I just want to make sure that that is clear; that these individuals are not authorised and not acting for or on behalf of the ward. They need to stop because when the dust settles there will be consequences for this sort of behaviour.
Ganduje’s aide on media and publicity, Mr. Edwin Olofu, denied knowledge of a deal brokered by the Presidency to reconcile the warring groups, explaining that the ongoing actions against his principal was a political witch-hunt that would be inconsequential. Governor Yusuf, who survived attempts by the governorship candidate of APC in the last general election, Dr. Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, to unseat him at the Supreme Court, penultimate week, set up two judicial panels to probe cases of political violence and misappropriation of public assets when Ganduje governed the state between 2015 and 2023. The governor faulted the notion held in certain quarters that the probe was politically motivated or directed at Ganduje.
Saidu, who has worked closely with both Ganduje and Kwankwaso over the years, believes that PDP or any of the opposition parties would emerge the ultimate beneficiaries of the unfolding development. An elder statesman in the state, who pleaded for anonymity, said: “Our people are wallowing in poverty. There is so much hardship in Kano. Of what use is fighting Ganduje, who is close to President Tinubu and can use his office to attract various intervention projects to our state? Look at the caliber of persons we have in this government and the position they are occupying today. They are all APC members. When the NNPP makes Kano hot, we will all be affected.
