Justice Liman directed all feuding parties to sustain the existing state of affairs in the Kano state chapter of the APC.
The court's orders are as follows:
"That all the parties are hereby mandated to maintain status quo before the purported emergency meeting of the alleged executive members of the APC, Ganduje ward, and to stay all action in respect of this matter pending the hearing and determination of substantive application.
"That the matter is fixed for 30th April 2024, for hearing."
Legit.ng reports that Ganduje and the current governor of Kano, Abba Yusuf, a chieftain of the New Nigeria People's Party (NNPP), are not on good terms.
There is also friction between Ganduje and Rabiu Kwankwaso, Yusuf's mentor.
Ganduje vs Yusuf: A repeat of Oshiomhole saga?
State governors in Nigeria often use game plans to remove national chairpersons.
A former national chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, lost his seat after he was suspended by his ward in Edo state in 2018 following a face-off with Governor Godwin Obaseki.
Only time will tell who will come out on top between Ganduje and Yusuf.
