Faction Emerges In Kano APC

A faction has emerged within the Kano State Chapter of the All Progressive Congress, (APC) with an ally of President Muhammadu Buhari, Alhaji Abdulmajid Danbilki Kwamanda, announcing the formation of the new faction.

Kwamanda has been with President Buhari for a long time. He was a former national chairman of The Buhari Organisation, (TBO) way back to when Buhari first contested for the presidency on the platform of the All Peoples Party (APP).

The APC Chieftain claimed that Governor Umar Abdullahi Ganduje and the APC state Caretaker Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, should be held responsible for the crack in the party.

He said: “The actions of the governor as well the party caretaker chairman for blocking some party loyalists who wish to contest the state gubernatorial seat has negated the principles of democratic norms and internal politicking.

Kwamanda was earlier suspended from the party’s Kano Municipal Ward of Kofar Wambai for alleged anti-party activities, he denied the knowledge of the suspension, insisting that what they did was null and void.

He said one could not be suspended or sacked from a party without being given a fair hearing and or even contacting him to hear his version of the story.

According to Kwamanda, “I think those who say they suspended me are doing a hatchet job, but they have since failed because right now as you can see, we have factions in the party with the emergence of our Akida faction, we will see who is who.”

He also claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari will not stop him from doing the right thing to redirect the party. He said: “Buhari does not control my political ideology and he knows that whatever I’m doing is the right thing.”
