Ahmad said the same tactics used in suspending the former APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole was implored in Ganduje’s situation.
Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, has reacted to the suspension of the National Chairman of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the All Progressives Congress, APC, at ward level.
Ahmad said the same tactics used in suspending the former APC national chairman, Adams Oshiomhole was implored in Ganduje’s situation.
On Monday, Ganduje was suspended by his ward in DawakinTofa local government area of Kano State over alleged corruption.
The legal adviser of the ward, Haladu Gwanjo, had accused Ganduje of committing gross misconduct and misappropriation of public funds during his administration as Kano State governor.
But Ahmad on his take claimed that if Ganduje’s suspension was conducted in accordance with the party’s laws then he is no longer an APC member.
Posting on X, Ahmad said Ganduje cannot serve as the national chairman since he has been suspended.
Ahmad stated that the current situation is similar to the tactics used during Senator Adams Oshiohmole’s tenure.
He wrote: “If the widely reported suspension of the national chairman of our great party was conducted in accordance with due process, then he is no longer a party member, and constitutionally, he cannot serve as the national chairman since he is not a registered member of the party.
“This situation has a resemblance to the tactics used during Senator Adams Oshiohmole’s tenure. There must have been manoeuvres happening behind the scenes.”
