The political rivalry between Abba Yusuf, current governor of Kano State and his predecessor, Abdullahi Ganduje , took a new twist on Wednesday as a Kano State High Court affirmed the latter's suspension as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC. The court in an ex parte order affirmed the suspension of Ganduje and restrained him from parading himself as the National Chairman, as well as a member of the party.
recalls that Yusuf, who emerged governor of the state under the platform of the New Nigerian Peoples Party, NNPP, in 2023, had on assumption of office accused Ganduje of misappropriating public funds and allocating plots of land to some members of his immediate family. But speaking on the matter, a Kano-based legal practitioner, Wangida Isa, said Ganduje should honourably resign as the National Chairman of the APC till he clears the corruption allegations against him by the state government.
