The Arewa Peace and Development Initiative (APDI) has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to investigate the purported suspension of its National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.

A group led by Haladu Gwanja, who identified himself as the ward party legal advisor, had announced Ganduje’s suspension during a press briefing held in a hotel in Kano on Monday.

They cited corruption charges leveled against Ganduje by the state government as the reason for the suspension.

However, Ahmed Mohammed Koko, chairman of the party in Ganduje ward, along with 26 executive members, distanced themselves from the suspension, stating that those who announced it were not APC members.

At a press conference on Tuesday, the Arewa group urged the APC at the state and national level to diligently pursue the investigation and prosecution of those who purported to have acted as the executives of the party’s Ganduje Ward.

This, Yakubu Dauda, the group’s convener, said would discourage the repeat of such by any other political bloc in Nigeria.

The group further demanded a comprehensive probe to unravel other people involved, with a view to getting them to provide law enforcement agencies with information to stop the “planned crisis.”
