APC panel to resolve Kwankwaso, Ganduje’s fight.

Umar-Ganduje-Rabiu-KwankwasoThe All Progressives Congress has set up a three-man

panel to resolve the crisis in the Kano State chapter

of the party.

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje has been locked in a

fierce battle with his predecessor Rabiu Kwankwaso

over the control of the APC in the state.

But the National Chairman of the party Chief John

Odigie-Oyegun says the APC National Secretary Mai

Mala Buni; National Organising Secretary Osita

Izunaso; and Vice-Chairman Lawan Shuiabu (North)

had been mandated to resolve the crisis.

Odigie-Oyegun said this while responding to a

presentation by a delegation of the party from Kano

at the national secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday.

The former Edo State governor said, “We have only

one governor in Kano State, there is no doubt about

this. It is in our interest that the challenge between

this two of our leaders does not degenerate further.

“It is important for the party’s leadership in Kano to

be united behind the governor, especially now that

resources are very, very lean.

“Let me warn that the greatest disservice we can do

to ourselves is to have internal wars, especially in a

state as crucial as Kano.”

Spokesman for the party in the state, Bashir Karaye,

in a presentation on behalf of the delegation of over

100 elected and appointed party members including

senators, House of Representatives members, state

House of Assembly members, Commissioners and

Special Advisers from Kano, condemned

Kwankwaso’s behaviour during his last visit to the

state.

According to Karaye, while many people within and

outside the state condole with the governor over

the death of his mother, Kwankwaso even refused to

visit him.

 He said, “Sadly and unfortunately, the purported

visit by Senator Kwankwaso was to say the least a

misnomer to cultural and religious norms and had

assaulted the person of the governor and his

government.”

Meanwhile, governors from the North-West held a

closed-door meeting at the Maitama residence of

Kwankwaso late on Monday in a bid to reconcile the

senator with the governor.

 Although both men attended the meeting and

posed for photographs afterwards, none of them

spoke to reporters.
