The plaintiffs, who identified as executive members of the APC Ganduje ward, said they brought the motion on behalf of the executive members of the ward.

The executive council of Ganduje's ward, led by Gwanjo cited allegations of bribery against Ganduje levelled by the Kano state government as the reason for the suspension.

Legit.ng earlier reported that a former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, said there must have been manoeuvres happening behind the scenes for Ganduje to have been suspended.

Ahmad said Ganduje would cease to be the APC national chairman if the suspension was conducted in accordance with due process.

He said there was no way the former Kano governor can be the national chairman if he was not a registered APC member.
