The Concerned APC Members (CAM), a group within the ruling party, says those who suspended Abdullahi Ganduje, the national chairman, were  “impostors”.

The APC executives in Dawakin ward under Tofa LGA of Kano had on Monday suspended Ganduje over the allegations of corruption levelled against him.

However, the APC in Kano nullified the suspension and suspended the ward executives from the party for six months.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, Okpokwu Ogenyi, CAM’s convener, said APC has been “invaded”, noting that there is a need to reverse the situation.

“The impostors even went far in using the name of our Party’s legal adviser in Ganduje ward to announce the purported suspension of our workaholic National Chairman without the prior concept of the said legal adviser even though a legal adviser lacks the powers to suspend officers of the party hence such powers are vested on the ward chairman,” Ogenyi said.

“Gentlemen of the Press, it is obvious that the Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso-led faction of the NNPP is ready to return to the APC but does not want to join our party with Ganduje as the National Chairman.

“In view of the above narrative, our democracy is in clear danger.

“Impersonation is a criminal offence punishable by law. We call on the Inspector General of Police and the Director General of State Security Service to immediately arrest the impostors and prosecute them to serve as a deterrent to others willing to orchestrate such a devilish act.”

Ogenyi said the security agencies need to act on the situation before impostors suspend President Bola Tinubu from the APC.
