As the alleged suspension of the All Progressives Party (APC) National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, continues to gather momentum, a group, Guardian of Democracy and Development Initiative (GoDDI) yesterday asked President Bola Tinubu to relieve him of his leadership of the party if it would not like to lose the Ondo State governorship election.
The Convener of the group, Danesi Momoh who led other members of the group to the national secretariat of the party in Blantyre Street in Abuja, expressed worries that if Dr Abdulahi Ganduje was not relieved of the position, whatever actions and decisions he would take henceforth might have negative consequences on the party.
He added that the Zamfara episode might repeat itself, as the process of nominations of party candidates was fraught with incontrovertible process.
According to Momoh, “We are constrained to write to inform you about the recent events that are posing threats to our great party participating in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Ondo State.
“Your Excellency, you will recall that His Excellency Dr Abdulahi Ganduje having 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 the Ondo APC Primary Election as he lacks the locus standi to do so and attempting to act will amount to building something on nothing.
“It is important to therefore save our great party from impending doom by ensuring that all actions taken so far since the suspension of the national chairman be invalidated and the person empowered to act as the national chairman 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 invalidated.”
