Ganduje restores peace in APC Kano

by Abdullahi Kano

Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State has brokered peace in the ruling All Progressives Congress, following a crisis that has recently rocked the party in the state.

Recall that the crisis broke out last week between the Majority Leader and member representing Doguwa/Tudun Wada Federal Constituency, Alhassan Ado Doguwa and the deputy gubernatorial candidate of APC, Murtala Sule Garo.

Doguwa was accused of throwing a teacup at Garo during a stakeholders meeting at the residence of the state’s Deputy Governor, Nasiru Yusuf Gawuna, reportedly injuring the former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.

The Majority Leader, however, denied the allegations and vowed to continue fighting Garo to the end.

However, Doguwa, on Monday confirmed the reconciliation to newsmen in a Kano Radio political Programme monitored by our reporter on Tuesday morning.

He said the reconciliation was spearheaded by Ganduje, who summoned the two warring parties in a meeting with some party’s leaders in Kano.

“His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, has reconciled between me and Murtala Sule Garo.

“He summoned the reconciliatory meeting between us. The meeting was attended by Nasiru Aliko Koki and the state APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas. The meeting started from around 11pm up to 4 am of today (Monday).

“We reviewed the crisis and apologized to each other. The governor told us kind words. He showed each of us where we were wrong. He gave us fatherly advice and said he considers us as his two sons,” Doguwa revealed.

The Majority Leader, therefore declared that he had put the matter behind him and forged ahead to continue commitment towards the success of APC in Kano and the country.

“The matter is over for me. I will continue my support for the success of APC in 2023. I will continue to support Gawuna/Garo project, Tinubu/Shettima and APC at all levels in 2023,” he declared.

Doguwa also said he had forgiven Garo and all other party members that offended him, calling on them to forgive him too.

He also asked for forgiveness from Kano people and supporters of APC in Kano for causing disaffection in the party.
