Ganduje remains APC leader in Kano
Denying the defection rumours, the commissioner for rural and community development, said on Tuesday, December 22, that the report was false and the governor was still the leader of the party in the state.
Kwankwaso said “those peddling the news may be the ones planning to leave the party.”
He said:
“The party belongs to us, however, we will continue to engage all members for peace and we are going to reconcile and address our grievances.”
Kwankwaso also said the Ganduje-led faction will appeal the court judgment voiding their executives.
The other faction recognised by the court is led by former Kano state governor and serving senator representing Kano Central, Ibrahim Shekarau.
Governor Ganduje says he’s ready to reconcile with Senator Kwankwaso

The Kano state governor reportedly made this known in an interview with Radio France.
