A high court in Kano state has vacated an order affirming
the suspension of Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), as a member of the party.
Last week, APC executives in Dawakin ward in Tofa LGA of
Kano suspended Ganduje over alleged corruption.
Though the state working committee of the APC in Kano
nullified the suspension and punished the ward executives, Usman Na’Abba, a
judge, upheld it.
This prompted the party executives at the ward level to petition the National Judicial Council (NJC) against the judge.
“The decision to
intervene in internal party affairs without clear and compelling reasons to
circumvent the party’s own mechanisms appears to constitute constitutional
overreach,” they wrote in the petition.
“This action sets a concerning precedent regarding the
impartiality and scope of judicial intervention in political party governance.
“The issuance of an ex parte order in a politically
sensitive matter involving the leadership of a political party without ensuring
that all internal remedies have been exhausted raises concerns about the proper
judicial process.”
However, on Monday, Na’Abba vacated his earlier verdict and
set April 30 to hear the case.
