In a new twist in the early hours of Sunday, April 21, the APC ward faction which said it parades legitimate executives, announced Ganduje’s suspension.

Addressing journalists in Kano, the secretary of Ganduje ward, Ja’afar Adamu Ganduje, who spoke on behalf of 11 other executive members, explained that the suspension of the former governor of Kano is necessitated by the allegation of anti-party activities allegedly exhibited by Ganduje. He said this led to division and failure of the APC during the 2023 general elections.

The Punch also noted the update.

The APC factional scribe at Ganduje’s ward said:

“First, we have suspended Dr. Ganduje’s membership for creating internal conflict among party members at the ward level.

“Another major reason why the authentic executives resolved to suspend Ganduje is the issue of anti-party activities he generated during the 2023 elections which resulted in the party’s failure in the state.”
