The All-Progressives Congress (APC) in Ganduje Ward of Dawakin Tofa local government area of Kano State has suspended the party’s National Chairman and former governor of the state, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, from the party.
Mr. Halliru Gwanzo, the party’s legal adviser, made the announcement on Monday, in an address to journalists in Kano.
Mr. Gwanzo said the reason for the party’s action is connected with allegations of bribery against Ganduje by the Kano State Government. Ganduje is currently on trial and expected to appear in a Kano court later this week.
“We decided to suspend Dr. Ganduje from the party due to the seriousness of the allegations against him,” Gwanzo said at the news conference.
He said the suspension will remain in place until he clears himself from the allegations.
