The recent crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken another twist as another group known as the “authentic members” of Ganduje ward in Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State suspends the National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje afresh.
Recall that Ganduje was suspended last week by another faction of the party executives in his ward, led by Haladu Gwanjo.
Citing alleged corruption among other offences, Gwanjo said that the decision to suspend the national chairman was taken by nine executive members of the party in his ward.
But another faction represented by Ahmad Ganduje emerged to declare support for the national chairman, insisting the ward officials were satisfied with his leadership style.

However, in yet another twist, the group led by the secretary of the ward, Jaafar Adams disclosed to journalists on Sunday that eleven out of the twenty-seven executive members of the ward are the legitimate ward excos legally elected on 31st July, 2021 and are issuing a fresh suspension on Abdullahi Ganduje.
“We are the authentic executives of his ward and have passed a vote of no confidence and imposed new suspension on Dr Umar Ganduje.”
He went further to outline reasons why the suspension is coming at this time, noting that the embattled APC national chairman has not been paying his statutory party dues.
“We have suspended Dr Ganduje’s membership for creating internal conflict among party members at ward level, and anti-party activities during the 2023 general elections.”
Adamu Jaafar, a nephew to the former governor of kano state, emphasized that the two factions claiming to be executives were imposters orchestrated by the party’s national chairman and other bad elements in the party.
