Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has faced a suspension from his ward members in Ganduje Ward, Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of Kano State.
The Executive Council of Ganduje Ward, led by Haruna Gwanjo, announced this during a press briefing held in Kano on Monday.
Gwanjo explained that the decision stemmed from corruption allegations surrounding Ganduje’s involvement in a longstanding dollar case.
