Babatunji Wusu –
Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has been suspended by his ward in Ganduje, Kano State.
Ganduje was suspended by his ward in Kano State’s DawakinTofa local government area on Monday due to allegations of corruption.
Speaking to journalists, the ward’s legal adviser, Haladu Gwanjo, said the former Kano Governor is accused of severe misconduct and theft of public funds during his tenure in Kano.
According to him, the Executive members of the ward resolved to suspend Ganduje’s membership after a vote of no confidence passed on him due to his inability to clear his name from a wide range of allegations of corruption, particularly the widely circulated video where he allegedly received dollars as a bribe from a contractor.
“We decided to suspend Dr. Ganduje from the party due to the seriousness of the allegations against him,” Gwanzo stated.
He stated that the suspension is effective from Monday, 15 April, 2024 until the former governor of the state clears himself from the allegations.
