APC Withdraws Threat To Suspend Former Gov

The Kano State chapter
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has withdrawn its threat to suspend the former governor of the State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso from the party.
The State APC chairman, Umar Doguwa had while addressing journalists last Thursday in Kano said kwankwaso faces suspension from the party for sponsoring a violent rally while paying a condolence visit to the governor over the death of his mother.
He said, kwankwaso who is now a serving senator had exhibited “acts of indiscipline which should not be allowed to go unpunished.”
Doguwa told journalists that the party’s leadership and elders of the party had approved the constitution of a disciplinary committee to penalise Kwankwaso.
He accused Kwankwaso of deliberately turning the condolence visit to a violent rally, caused mayhem in the state and abused the governor and president Muhammadu Buhari.
However, 48 hours later, Doguwa made a u-turn by disowning the statement he made against the former governor.
Addressing journalists on Saturday, the APC chairman said he was forced by the state governor to make the statements he made against Kwankwaso.
Doguwa told reporters at the press centre in Kano that the state government “purely confused a social event with politics because the visit of Kwankwaso was politicised out of proportion”.
He said he was withdrawing his last Thursday’s statement threatening to suspend the former governor.
“I hereby withdraw the statement and dissociate myself from it”, he said, adding that the comments were “a product of warped and mischievous elements in the government whose position and antics are to cause confusion and disunity among the rank and file of our party.”
