The APC national leadership also said it was waiting to receive and study the recent High Court judgment recognising Senator Ibrahim Shekarau's faction in the state.
National Secretary of the APC CECPC, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe gave the assurance on Monday, December 6 while speaking to journalists including a Legit.ng reporter in Abuja.
He said:
“We are responsible leaders of the party and we won't like to comment on a judgment that we haven't seen.
“All I can tell you now is that we are going to apply for a certified true copy of the judgment. We haven't seen it. We need to study the judgment.”
On the allegations that the APC CECPC sent two different committees to Kano to conduct the state Congress, Akpanudoedehe described the report as false.
His words:
“We didn't give letters to two committees. How could we have done that? We won't put fire in our own house, we know the people we gave an official letter to go to Kano and conduct the official assignment. That's the team we will accord recognition.”
In a separate interview, Barrister Auwwal Ibrahim who led the team that conducted the exercise which produced the displaced Abdullahi Abass as chairman told journalists that the congress attended by Governor Ganduje was the authentic one.
