Abdullahi Umar Ganduje

Senator Ajibola Basiru, the National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has listed the politician allegedly behind the purported suspension of the APC national chairman, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje in Kano.

He stated that the presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Rabiu Kwankwaso and the party were behInd Ganduje’s woes.

The APC has been controverted after Ganduje ward in Kano State announced the suspension of the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, from the ruling party.

Amid other speculations, Basiru firmly stated that Kwankwaso and NNPP were responsible for orchestrating the alleged suspension of the APC National Chairman during yesterday’s APC Osun Central Senatorial meeting held at the party’s secretariat in Osogbo.

He strongly disapproved of this suspension, considering it to be the manipulative tactics of a declining political party.

The APC chieftain said: “The so-called suspension is a circus orchestrated by Kwakwanso and his dying political party. It is not known to our party. The Kano High Court that gave the initial injunction had vacated the interim injunction.

“Even the so-called spokesperson has a poster contesting for the position of a councillor. So, as far as I’m concerned, it is a circus put forward by Kwakwanso and the dying drama of a drowning politician.”

During the meeting, Basiru praised President Bola Tinubu for the 25 per cent and 35 per cent increments in workers’ salaries.

“The increment of wage is well thought out. It is something that is sustainable and it is a welcome development, to be able to cushion the effect of the removal of fuel subsidy,” he said.
