APC unmoved by activities of sponsored agents, Ganduje’s leadership unshakeable – Official

By Abdullahi Yusuf

The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kano State said on Monday that the party under the leadership of its National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, remains unshakable in the wake of activities of sponsored agents from his ward.

The Secretary of the party in the state, Alhaji Zakari Sarina, disclosed this to newsmen in Kano against the backdrop of a row over fresh suspension of Dr Ganduje by a new group.

Sarina dismissed the purported action of the group, describing it as “null, and void”.

“How can a non-member of the party suspend a legitimate member who was Governor for eight years and rose to become the national chairman of our party.

“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 these Impostors because their style lack finesse and sophistication and have further exposed their political naivety where Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is an acclaimed master.

“From available records, those behind the latest oddity are political jobbers who have offered themselves for pecuniary benefits at the behest of dignity,”the secretary said.

He further stated that members of the group did not belong to the class of progressives “because a right thinking party member will not work towards destroying a legitimate member who was governor for 8 years and rose to become a national chairman of the party.

“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 and state levels are solidly behind our leader who has contributed positively towards the political growth of our party,” Sarina said.

According to him,the sponsored group couldn’t do their homework well by using a fake or uncertified letter headed paper on which they drew a list of non existing party executives.

“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 said.

The secretary urged the media not offer their platforms to promote falsehoods in the light of their role in sustainable democracy.

“The media should as a matter of fact scrutinise issues that are of paramount importance to the growth of democracy by being drivers and purveyors,” he said.

He said the onslaught by the sponsored agents was a confirmation that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is popular in Kano and only waiting for time to reclaim power.
