From Mustapha Adamu, Kano
The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kano State has said that the leadership of the National Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is unshakable by the activities of sponsored agents in his ward.
Secretary of the party in Kano, Ibrahim Zakari Sarina, told newsmen in Kano on Monday, against the backdrop of a fresh suspension by a new APC faction.
Sarina, who dismissed the purported suspension as “null, and void”, says “how can a none member of the party suspend a legitimate member who was governor for eight years and rose to become the national chairman of our party”.
Sarina explained that “it is impracticable for non members to slam a national officer with suspension without recourse to laid down procedures as enshrined in the party’s constitution.
“I must make it clear, that we are undeterred by the activities of this Impostors because their style lack finesse and sophistication and has further exposed their political naivety where Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is an acclaimed master.
He said that “from available records, those behind the latest oddity are political jobbers who have offered themselves for pecuniary benefits at behest of dignity.
“They don’t belong to progressive because a right thing party member will not work towards destroying a legitimate member who was governor for 8 years and rose to become a national chairman.
“ Because they are outsiders, they are simply not aware of the internal workings, or ground rules of the APC on disciplinary actions, hence they resort to poor strategy that cannot stand logic, and reasons.
“ We from ward ,local government level and state are solely behind our leader who has contribute positively towards the political growth of our party .
The APC Secretary also revealed that the sponsored group could not do their homework properly by using fake or uncertified letter-headed paper on which they drew a list of non existing party executives.
Sarina maintained that “To worsen their situation, leader of the group who announced the purported suspension is an NNPP member who contested but lost the councilorship election in Ganduje ward.”
He however tasked the media not offer their platforms to promote falsehoods in the light of their role in sustainable democracy.
Sarina added that “The media should as a matter of fact scrutinise issues that are of paramount importance to the growth of democracy by being a driver, and purveyors.
“The onslaught by the sponsored agents are a confirmation that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is popular in Kano and only waiting for time to reclaim power,” he said.
