The All Progressives Congress, APC, has described the purported suspension of the national chairman of the party, Dr. Abdullah Ganduje, as a dubious act of impostors and fake news.
APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, in a statement on Tuesday, said: “The attention of APC, has been drawn to media reports of the purported suspension of the National Chairman, Dr. Ganduje, from the party by the Executive Committee of the Ganduje Ward in the Oawakin Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State.
“The purported suspension was the devious act of a group of mpersonators of Ward officials out to cause mischvef and create confusion in the othermse peaceful Ganduje Ward chapter of our party.
“The perpetrators of thes crimwnal act are not card carrying members of APC in the Ward but are individuals affikated with semor officials and representatives of the New Nigena People Party, NNPP.
“This act procured by officials of the ruling NNPP in Kano is part of the despicable program of political persecution launched by the administration of Governor Abba Yusuf against Dr. Gandyje, a former Governor of Kano state.

“The purported suspension is downright cnmmnal, and of no effect whatsoever.
“The legitimate Executive Committee of the Ganduje Ward has since denounced the action and reaffirmed Dr. Ganduje as a bonafide member of the Party in the Ward, and in good standing.
“The party has filed a petition with the Inspector General of Police requesting an expedited investigation of this matter and that the perpetrators and their sponsors be brought to justice.
“We urge our party faithful and the general public to disregard reports of the suspension of the National Chairman who is, and remains, the National Chawman of our great party,” he added.
