Amid the crisis rocking the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC), there are claims that those behind the purported suspension of Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje are not members of the ruling party.

Terrence Kuanum, the national coordinator of the coalition, said this while reacting to the court ruling which halted Ganduje’surported suspension.

Contrary to the earlier claim that Ganduje’s ward executives suspended him, Kuanum said it was “revealed” that the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP)-led Kano state government sponsored some of their members to suspend Ganduje.
