The Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, has said he is
in support of the All Progressives Congress (APC) decision, to disqualify
Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, from the June 22 primaries.
Obaseki will not contest for second term on the platform of
the APC, after the party’s screening committee disqualified him, over alleged
“defective certificate.”
Ganduje, while speaking with reporters on Monday, said what
matters at the moment is the legal implications of the likely outcome of the
exercise.
The Kano Governor cited Bayelsa as an example, claiming the
ruling party won the election in the state, but lost to the opposition on point
of legality at the court.
“We are conscious of legal implications, we don’t want to
overlook anything that will turn to be our albatross, the issue of Bayelsa
state where we won an election and taken away is still fresh in our memory.”
Ganduje expressed optimism that no matter what happened, the
APC would emerge victorious in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Edo.
