‘Random people’: APC legal adviser says initiators of Ganduje’s suspension were not party members

• All Progressive Congress National Legal Adviser Abdulkarim Kana said it was virtually impossible for agitators to suspend national chairman Abdullahi Ganduje
• Kana pointed out that only the National Working Committee has the constitutional right to remove the chairman
• He claimed that the faction that had been tirelessly calling for the suspension of Ganduje were not members of the party

A top official of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Abdulkarim Kana, the party’s national legal adviser, has described those plotting to unseat the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, as mere individuals who lack the means to carry out their whims .

Kana noted that only the party’s National Working Committee has the constitutional authority to suspend the chairman pending a decision from an investigative panel.

Kana frantically clarified on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Monday, May 6, that all procedures laid down in the party’s binding constitution must be thoroughly followed before a temporary removal can ever be issued .

He said that after an investigation into the suspension verdict passed by the chairman’s ward, it was found that the people behind it were not members of the party’s leadership in the ward.

Kana explained that this finding was the reason the state labor board quickly lifted the suspension and subjected the district workers to disciplinary proceedings.

Legal response from Ganduje

A federal court in Kano issued a one-sided ruling to temporarily halt the implementation of the suspension.

A Kano State High Court judge, who had earlier upheld Ganduje’s suspension, also set aside the order suspending the former Kano state governor as national chairman of the APC.
