The Kano elders group, in a statement signed by its chairman, Abubakar Indabawa and Musaddiq Wada Waziri (secretary), noted that the 'APC youths' are not known to anybody within the APC and as such are nothing but sponsored elements.

Nigerian Tribune also noted the Kano APC elders' stance.

The statement said:

“These youths are merely sponsored political groups aiming to tarnish the hard-earned efforts of the APC national chairman, who has successfully reconciled aggrieved party members in Ondo, Rivers, and other states since he (Ganduje) emerged as chairman about seven months ago.”

Leaders of the group stated that the youth who addressed the press conference in Kano had no affiliation with the APC and asked security agencies to investigate them.

They added that those youths calling for Ganduje’s removal were being sponsored by those frustrated by the reconciliation success achieved by Ganduje as APC national chairman as well as his "efforts in reforming the party in Kano".

Consequently, the Kano APC elders advised the ‘sponsored youths’ to seek suitable careers to build their futures instead of running errands for "jealous politicians who they said would use and dump them".
