Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and a former governor of Kano State, was suspended, and a Kano State High Court confirmed this decision.
The ruling by the court came about as a result of an ex parte motion that Ibrahim Sa’ad, the attorneys for Haladu Gwanjo and Laminu Sani, submitted.
On Wednesday, April 17, Justice Usman Mallam Na’Abba issued the ex parte ruling, which forbade Ganduje from identifying himself as an APC member.

The APC Ganduje ward’s executive members, who are represented by the plaintiffs, filed the motion on their behalf.
The court also upheld the suspension, which had already been declared by Gwanjo, the party’s ward legal adviser, and ordered Ganduje to stop supervising any any activities of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC.
In response, the APC has filed an appeal on Ganduje’s purported suspension with the Inspector General of Police. Given the current political unrest, it is anticipated that the legal dispute over Ganduje’s standing inside the party would go on.
