Kano - Musa Kwankwaso, the commissioner for rural and community development in Kano state, has debunked the rumours that Governor Abdullahi Ganduje was planning to quit the All Progressive Congress (APC).

The rumours about Ganduje's planned defection were rife after a court judgment sacked party executives loyal to him, Premium Times reported.

It was alleged that the Kano state governor was meeting his supporters, making consultations and planning to leave the ruling party after the national headquarters of the party refused to intervene in his favour in the ongoing crisis rocking the state chapter of the party.

Denying the defection rumours, the commissioner for rural and community development, said on Tuesday, December 22, that the report was false and the governor was still the leader of the party in the state.

Kwankwaso said that “those peddling the news may be the ones planning to leave the party.”

He said:

“The party belongs to us, however, we will continue to engage all members for peace and we are going to reconcile and address our grievances."

Kwankwaso also said the Ganduje-led faction will appeal the court judgment voiding their executives.

The other faction recognised by the court is led by former Kano state governor and serving senator representing Kano Central, Ibrahim Shekarau.
