Presidency Witchhunting Ganduje? APC Finally Opens Up

• The APC has reacted to a viral allegation that the presidency is behind the ordeals of its national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje
• The claim was made on Wednesday, April 17, by Ahmad Aruwa, the spokesman of APC chapter in Kano state
• However, the national leadership of the ruling party is of the view that those who suspended Ganduje in Kano are not members of the APC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has distanced itself from a claim by its Kano chapter that the presidency may be the brain behind the move to remove the national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, from office.

Ahmad Aruwa, the spokesman of the Kano APC chapter on Wednesday, April 17, accused the presidency of conspiring against Ganduje.

Debunking the claim, the national publicity secretary of the APC, Felix Morka, said much as he could not tell the context in which Aruwa made the claim, it was a true reflection of things.

Morka argued that those behind the move to suspend Ganduje in Kano state are not members of the party and have no authority to do so, Punch reports.

The APC spokesman said:

“First, I am just hearing about this. I didn’t monitor that information. I wouldn’t say much about it. I don’t know the context or circumstances in which he made those comments.

“We know that the individuals who are behind this move to suspend the national chairman are people without membership in the party and any form of authority.

"From all indications, many of the members who were at that press conference where the announcement was made are individuals we profiled that are connected one way or the other with very senior officials of the NNPP.”
