"Random Individuals": APC Legal Adviser Says Ganduje's Suspension Initiators Not Party Members

• The national legal adviser of the All Progressive Congress, Abdulkarim Kana, stated that it is practically impossible for agitators to suspend the national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje
• Kana noted that it is only the National Working Committee that has the constitutional right to remove the chairman
• He claimed the faction that has been relentless in their calling for the suspension of Ganduje is made up of people who are not members of the party

A top official of the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC), Abdulkarim Kana, who is the national legal adviser of the party, has brandished those scheming to unseat the national chairman of the party, Abdullahi Ganduje, as mere individuals who lack the means to execute their whims.

Kana established that only the party's National Working Committee is constitutionally allowed to suspend the chairman pending the resolution of an inquiry panel.

Kana, talking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday, May 6, frantically clarified that before any temporary removal pronouncement can ever be made, all procedures, as laid down by the party's binding constitution, must have been thoroughly followed.

He said that after an investigation was made into the suspension verdict spelt out by the chairman's ward, it had been revealed that the people behind it were not members of the party's executives in the ward.

Kana explained that the realisation was the reason the state working committee quickly overturned the suspension and subjected the ward excos to a disciplinary procedure.

Legal response from Ganduje

A Federal High Court in Kano issued an ex parte ruling to stop the implementation of the suspension temporarily.
