APC Authorities Rebuke Alleged Suspension of National Leader Ganduje

A contention has emerged surrounding the purported suspension of Abdullahi Ganduje, the national head of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The scenario unfolded when a ward committee in Dawakin Tofa, steered by Haruna Gwanjo, declared that the ex-governor needed to address accusations of malfeasance.
Subsequently, both the ward and Dawakin Tofa local governance committees repudiated the alleged suspension of Ganduje, asserting that the claim holds no credible foundation.
In a formal declaration, Ahmed Koko, the ward head for Ganduje, refuted the allegations as politically motivated. He asserted that the faction was sponsored by the state administration, helmed by the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), and did not consist of authentic APC affiliates.
Koko added that the group involved in the suspension assertion lacked evidence of being registered APC members at any level—ward, local governance, or state. This casts further skepticism on the validity of the declaration.
The declaration indicates that the APC in Dawakin Tofa perceives the reported suspension as a calculated maneuver to destabilize Ganduje and the party’s hierarchy.
Koko’s pronouncement also reveals the committee’s intention to take legal action against the individuals associated with the alleged suspension. This demonstrates the APC’s resolute approach to safeguard Ganduje’s role.
The evolving contention reflects wider political friction and potential attempts to unsettle APC’s governance. It also highlights the persistent struggle among competing political groups.
Observers will be closely monitoring the progression of this matter, particularly how the legal proceedings develop and their potential repercussions on the APC’s internal equilibrium and cohesion.
The resolution of this conflict could set a standard for how political parties in Nigeria navigate internal disputes and confrontations regarding leadership roles.
