The APC in Kano has dismissed Sen. Rabiu Kwankwaso’s claim that it and Gov. Abba Yusuf omitted the NDC candidate’s name from INEC list. The candidate in question is Aminu Abdussalam-Gwarzo of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a press statement issued by the Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Kano State, Alhaji Umar Haruna-Doguwa stated that attempts to associate the party and its candidate with the matter are misleading and intended to shift attention from the internal challenges confronting the NDC.
Distancing APC from the legal proceedings, Haruna-Doguwa added that neither the APC nor its governorship candidate sponsored, influenced or facilitated the court action against Abdussalam-Gwarzo.
His words, “The party described the allegation as false, baseless and an attempt by Kwankwaso to blackmail the APC and its governorship candidate.
The APC maintained that the case originated from the internal crisis within the NDC.
Neither the party nor Gov. Yusuf has any involvement whatsoever in the legal proceedings surrounding the NDC candidate.
It was instituted by party members against the NDC itself, and not by the APC, its governorship candidate or the Kano State Government.
The judiciary is an independent arm of government and neither the APC nor its governorship candidate has the authority to dictate its proceedings or decisions.
The APC described the allegation as an unfortunate attempt at political blackmail, particularly coming from Sen. Kwankwaso, who is the Vice-Presidential candidate of the NDC.”
