Protesters gathered at the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Thursday, demanding the invalidation of all actions taken by the embattled national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. They carried banners and placards with various inscriptions and called for Ganduje to step aside.
In a petition addressed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the protesters expressed concern that Ganduje’s continued actions in office posed a threat to Saturday’s primary election in Ondo State.
The petition, signed by Co-conveners Denesi Momoh, Abdulkadir Shuaibu, and Adeyeye Olugbenga, urged Tinubu to intervene and save the party from impending doom.
The petition stated, “Sir, it is important to therefore save our great party from impending doom by ensuring that all actions taken so far since the suspension of the National Chairman be invalidated and the person empowered to act as the National Chairman in the face of the suspension of the National Chairman is allowed to act so that whatever is done in furtherance of Ondo Primary election will not be invalidated.”
It is worth noting that the APC national legal adviser, Prof. Abdulkareem Kana, previously stated that the ex parte order suspending Ganduje was not enforceable due to alleged fraud in its procurement.
