Court reverses suspension of Ganduje as APC National Chairman
In a significant turnaround, the Kano State High Court has reversed its earlier decision confirming the suspension of Abdullahi Ganduje as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), thereby vacating the order.
The reversal came after Haladu Gwanjo and Laminu Sani Barguma obtained a court order suspending Ganduje from his role as APC’s chairman, claiming leadership positions in the party’s Ganduje Ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government area of the state.
Justice Usman Na’Abba reconsidered the case in light of a motion ex-parte, a supporting affidavit, and a written address dated April 22, ultimately rescinding the previous order.
In his ruling, Na’ Abba stated:
“An order of interim injunction is hereby granted staying the execution of the order of interim injunction contained in the ruling of this court delivered on 17h April 2024 directing parties to maintain status quo ante as at the 15th day of April 2024 in relation to the suspension of the 4th respondent/applicant from the 1st respondent by the Ganduje Ward Executive Committee pending the hearing and determination of the 4th respondent/applicant motion on notice.”
The case has been adjourned to April 30 for further hearing, marking a pivotal moment in the ongoing legal proceedings.
