The ruling All Progressives’ Congress (APC) has written a petition to the inspector general of police, Kayode Egbetokun, urging him to investigate those they believe were behind the suspension of its national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, at the ward level in Kano state.
The two-page petition, which was made available to journalist on Thursday, was authored by the party’s national legal adviser, Abdulkareem Kana.
The development comes in the wake of a court order secured by Ganduje at a federal high court in kano to halt his purported suspension.
In the petition, Kana identified nine alleged impostors who he claimed were behind the “false suspension pronouncement” and further urged Egbetokun to arrest and probe their involvement in the suspension.
The petition read: “As the National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress (APC), I. am writing to formally petition your esteemed offices to investigate and apprehend the following persons: Auwalu Galadima Jemomi, Muhde Weti, Danmala Gale, Samaila Haladu, Laminu Sani Barguma, Musa Lado, Lado Maishayi, Amadu Maishayi and Umar Amarwa.
“The above-mentioned persons have falsely claimed to be party executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) of Ganduje Ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State.
“Specifically, on April 15, 2024, Auwalu Galadima Jemomi and his accomplices, claiming to be party executives of the APC from Ganduje Ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government, Kano State, falsely issued a press statement suspending our National Chairman, Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje, from the party.
“This unauthorised and misleading statement has created significant confusion and unrest among our members and the public at large.”
