A Kano State High Court has affirmed the suspension of the former state governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje as national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The order is sequel to an exparte motion filed by Haladu Gwanjo and Laminu Sani through their counsel, Ibrahim Sa’ad.
Justice Usman Mallam Na’Abba granted the exparte order today, April 17, restraining him from parading himself as a member of the APC.
The plaintiffs, who identified themselves as executive members of APC Ganduje ward, said that they brought the motion on behalf of the executive members of the ward.
Recall that Gwanjo, who identified himself as the party’s ward Legal Adviser, had announced the suspension of Ganduje on Monday, April 15.
Subsequently, the court ordered Ganduje to desist from presiding over all affairs of the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC.
Meanwhile, the APC has said that it has petitioned the Inspector General of Police over Ganduje’s purported suspension.
