The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has been suspended from the party over alleged corrupt practices leveled against him by the state government.

Ganduje was suspended by members of his ward, in the Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State on Monday, April 15.

The announcement was made by the ward’s legal adviser, Halliru Gwanzo, who addressed journalists in Kano on Monday.

Gwanzo cited allegations of bribery against Ganduje by the Kano state government as the reason for the suspension.

"We decided to suspend Dr. Ganduje from the party due to the seriousness of the allegations against him,” Gwanzo stated.

He said the suspension subsists until he clears himself from the allegations.

Meanwhile, in a twist of event, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Kano State Chapter has wielded a big stick on the APC Ganduje ward leaders who had earlier suspended the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

Abdullahi Abbas, the state Chairman of the party who hosted Reporters in his office shortly after an emergency meeting of the State Working Committee of the party accused one Inusa Sulaiman Dawanau, and his cohorts for anti party activities as reported by Daily Independent.

The tough talking Abbas said, “We have it on good authority that these group of disloyal members have been hobnobbing with the ruling NNPP led administration in the state to execute a destabilisation act within the party.

He revealed that, “We have evidence of meetings between the state government officials and those that suspended the national chairman, and the state working committee has agreed to sanction them for six months and they stand suspended”.

Alhaji Abbas said that they have since adopted the recommendation, and the decisions of the Local Government Party Leaders to suspend the errant ward officials, while the party at the state level are now investigating the anti-party activities of the culprits.
