The APC has accused an opposition party of the purported suspension of its national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.

The party’s secretary in Kano, Zakari Sarina, said on Monday that any supposed suspension of Mr Ganduje was null and void.

He claimed the suspension, announced on Sunday by a faction of the party, came from non-members.

“It is impracticable for non-members to slam a national officer with suspension without recourse to laid-down procedures as enshrined in the party’s constitution. I must make it clear, that we are undeterred by the activities of these impostors because.

“Their style lacks finesse and sophistication and has further exposed their political naivety where Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is an acclaimed master. From available records, those behind the latest oddity are political jobbers who have offered themselves for pecuniary benefits at the behest of dignity,“ Mr Sarina stated.

He added, “They don’t belong to progressive because a good party member will not work towards destroying a legitimate member who was governor for eight years and rose to become a national chairman. It is because they are outsiders.

“They are simply not aware of the internal workings or ground rules of the APC on disciplinary actions. Hence, they resort to poor strategy that cannot stand logic and reasons.

“We from ward, local government level and state are solidly behind our leader who has contributed positively towards the political growth of our party.”

Mr Sarina alleged that the group leader who announced the purported Mr Ganduje’s suspension was a New Nigeria People’s Party member who contested but lost the councillorship election in the Ganduje ward.

“The media should, as a matter of fact, scrutinise issues that are of paramount to the growth of democracy by being the driver of democracy,” he said.
