The Kano State High Court presided over by Justice Usman Na’Abba has on Monday reversed orders earlier affirming the suspension of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
Recall that the Assistant Secretary of Ganduje ward, Dawakin-Tofa local government area, Laminu Sani and Legal Adviser, Haladu Gwanjo (plaintiffs) who were part of the nine ward executive who suspended Abdullahi Ganduje a week ago, had earlier secured an order suspending Ganduje as the Chairman of the Party.
However in a twist of events, the Presiding Judge, Justice Na’Abba said that upon reading a Motion Ex-Parte together with 27-paragraph affidavit in support and a written address dated, the 22nd day of April, 2024 sworn to by one Glory Adah a litigation secretary in the 4th respondent solicitors law firm, he reversed the order suspending Ganduje.

The Judge has however, adjourned the case to 30th day of April, 2024 for hearing.
