A Court of Appeal Abuja division has upheld the ward and local government congresses conducted by Governor Abdullahi Ganduje in Kano state.
The court has set aside the judgment of the FCT High Court which invalidated the Kano state ward and local government congresses.
The appellate court ruled that the lower Court lacks jurisdiction.
Senator Ibrahim Shekarau faction of the party had headed to the FCT High Court after the congresses of the APC in Kano and the court upheld the group’s held congresses as against that of the Ganduje’s side.
Dissatisfied with the High Court rulings, Ganduje’s group rushed to the Appeal Court to contest the ruling.
The appellate court also held that the case was not a pre-election matter but an internal matter of the ruling party, therefore should be decided by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
