APC threatens to suspend Kwankwaso

Former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso risks being suspended by the Kano State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, over alleged anti-party activities.

According to the state chairman of the party, Alhaji Haruna Umar Doguwa, while speaking with journalists in Kano on Thursday, the Senator, during a recent visit to the state allegedly exhibited actions capable of compromising the party’s unity.

“The case of party indiscipline by Kwankwaso would be thoroughly investigated and dealt with in accordance with the constitution of our party”, Doguwa said.

According to reports, Kwankwaso was alleged to have stormed Ganduje village on a condolence visit with supporters chanting perceived derogatory songs against the bereaved state governor, Alhaji Abdulahi Ganduje.

The APC state chairman further claimed that “what specifically made the visit a misdemeanour to our party spirit of discipline and brotherhood was the fact that the visit was purely political as against the mission of condolence. The act of thuggery and brazen show of daggers, swords and other dangerous weapons by sponsored/hired hoodlums was totally unwholesome and condemnable.”

Continuing, Doguwa said the party acknowledged Kwankwaso’s presidential ambition, but maintained that their loyalty and commitment is to President Muhammadu Buhari, his policies and programmes.

He also insisted that the party would ensure that discipline is enforced as prescribed by the party’s constitution.
