Edo Guber: Ganduje backs Obaseki’s disqualification
Ganduje said “We are all aware of how the APC won the election in Bayelsa state, and due to legal issues, we lost that election. So, the party is fully conscious of that. The party does not want to overlook certain issues.
Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State, on Monday, backed the disqualification of Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, from contesting the All Progressives Congress governorship primary scheduled to hold on June 22.
During a media parley to mark Democracy Day, Ganduje said the political crisis in Edo politics “is normal in any democratic dispensation”, adding that “the APC is being conscious of the legal implications that may follow after the elections”.
The APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, after a meeting of the National Working Committee, said the NWC members were unanimous in their decision to disqualify the Edo State governor.
Ganduje said, “Other political parties are also embroiled in crisis but, as far as this (Edo) issue is concerned, we are more worried about legality. We have to follow rules and regulations while conducting our affairs for the election.
“We believe the national headquarters; as far as Kano State is concerned is doing all what it takes for the success of the APC in the Edo election.
“The party is also mindful that all the procedures are followed and we believe we will win the election because there is a high degree of mobilisation, and as such we are conscious of legal issues, pertaining to elections.
“We are all aware of how the APC won the election in Bayelsa state, and due to legal issues, we lost that election. So, the party is fully conscious of that. The party does not want to overlook certain issues.
