The Kano State High Court presided over by Justice Usman Na’Abba, on Monday, reversed the orders affirming the suspension of Abdullahi Ganduje as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Justice Na’abba had last week granted the prayer of the Assistant Secretary of Ganduje ward, Dawakin-Tofa Local Government Area, Laminu Sani and Legal Adviser, Haladu Gwanjo (plaintiffs) for an order to affirm the suspension of the former Kano State Governor.
The plaintiffs were part of the nine ward executives who suspended Abdullahi Ganduje over “anti-party activities.”
However in a new development, the Presiding Judge, squashed and reversed the order suspending Ganduje and granted a fresh interim injunction staying the execution of the order issued by the court on April 17.
