National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, says he remains the National Chairman of the party, mocking the Kano State Government that he is unshakeable.
Ganduje in a viral video, was seen amidst a host of party supporters saying that he had met with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who he claimed had guaranteed his position as the party chairman.
He said, “Yesterday (Tuesday), I met with the President and I explained to him and he said he is also thankful for what you did. What was done is shambolic. He said you should be patient enough. This seat they are looking up to still stands unshakeable.
“Tell Kano State Government that the seat of National Chairman of APC in Nigeria is on Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. We are here unshakable.”
APC recently had accused the Kano State Government of sponsoring elements in Ganduje Ward to announce the suspension of the National Chairman.
But the government had swiftly denied any involvement, labelling it an “internal crisis” within the APC.
Meanwhile, a Kano State High Court on has affirmed Ganduje’s suspension.
The court, while granting an exparte order, also restrained Ganduje from further parading himself as a member of the party.
The order was granted by Justice Usman Malam Na’abba, on Tuesday.
The order followed an exparte motion filed by Haladu Gwanjo and Laminu Sani by their counsel Ibrahim Sa’ad.
The plaintiffs, who identified as executive members of APC Ganduje ward, said they brought the motion on behalf of the executive members of the ward.
Gwanjo, who identified as the party’s ward Legal Adviser, was the one that announced the suspension of Ganduje two days ago.
The court ordered, that henceforth, Ganduje should desist from presiding over all affairs of the National Working Committee of APC.
