The All Progressives Congress (APC) executive committee in the Ganduje Ward of Dawakin Tofa local government area of Kano State has suspended Abdullahi Ganduje, the party’s National Chairman, over corruption allegations levelled against him by the state government.
The ward executive led by Haruna Gwanzo announced the development at a recent press briefing on Monday in Kano.
The party said Ganduje must clear his name of the corruption allegations before he would be reinstated into the party.
The Kano State government will arraign the APC chairman, his wife, Hajia Hafsat Umar and six others for alleged corruption at the State High Court on April 17, 2024.
Ganduje was publicly criticized when he was seen in a viral video stuffing dollars allegedly received as a kickback from a contractor handling a project in the state in his “babaringa” in 2017.
Gwanzo said: “We decided to suspend Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje from the party due to the seriousness of the allegations against him.”
