Group warns APC against danger of Ganduje conducting Ondo primary

A group of protesters under the aegis of APC Youth Solidarity Network (APCYSN) stormed the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to caution the party against the legal implication of its embattled National Chairman, Umar Ganduje conducting the forthcoming Ondo State governorship primary election.

In a statement co-signed by the Convener, and Co-Conveners of the group, Danesi Momoh, Abdulkadir Shuaibu and Adeyeye Olugbenga, respectively and a copy made available to NATIONAL PERISCOPE on Thursday, they insisted that Ganduje lacks locus standi to conduct the primary as that can spell doom for the party in the long run.

Recall that a Kano state High Court on Wednesday has granted an exparte order restraining Ganduje from parading himself as a member of the party.

The court also went further, that henceforth, Ganduje should desist from presiding over all affairs of the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC.

Flaunting such order, according to the group, will invalidate Ondo APC governorship primary.

The statement read: “Your Excellency, we are constrained to write you to inform you about the recent events that are posing threats to our great party participating in the forthcoming gubernatorial in Ondo State.

“Your Excellency will recall that His Excellency Alhaji Umaru Ganduje havíng

been suspended by his ward in Kano State and subsequently restrained by Kano

State High Court ought to refrain from interfering with anything that has to do

with Ondo APC primary election as he lacks locus standi to do so and attempting

to act will amount to building something on nothing.

“Sir, it is important to therefore save our great party from impending doom by

ensuring that all action taken so far since the suspension of the National Chairman

be invalidated and the person empowers to act as the National Chairman in the

in the face of the suspension of the National Chairman is allowed to act so that whatever is done in furtherance of Ondo Primary election will not be validated.”
