Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje-led All Progressives Congress, APC, exco has been sacked by an FCT high court in Abuja
Justice Hamza Muazu while delivering the ruling on Tuesday, granted all the reliefs sought by the Senator Ibrahim Shekarau faction, seeking a declaration that Ganduje-led group did not conduct ward and local government congresses.
Recall that parallel congresses were held in Kano, with Abdullahi Abbas emerging chairman of the Ganduje-led group and Ahmadu Zago emerging chairman of the Shekarau-led group.
The court also ordered that the Plaintiffs are the authentic and democratically elected body and ought to be recognized by the Defendants as the 27 elected ward executive committee members for each of the 484 Wards in Kano State; 5-elected Ward delegates for or to each of the 44-Local Government Areas; and

An order of perpetual injunction was also granted, restraining the Defendants from accepting any other list or purported list emanating from other than the duly constituted Ward Congress Committee (WCC) of the APC consisting of the names of the Plaintiffs as the 27 elected ward executive committee members for each of the 484 Wards in Kano State.
