Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has directed the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s leadership in the state to immediately resolve the crisis leading to the move by Abdulmumin Jibrin to defect from the party.
Jibrin, a prominent supporter and campaigner of former Lagos State governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s presidential bid, announced his exit from APC on Saturday.
However, in a statement on Sunday titled, ‘Ganduje wades into Kiru/Bebeji contest crisis’ by the Chairman of APC in Kano State, Abdullahi Abbas, the governor directed the party to ensure that Jibrin stays in the party.
The statement read, “Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano state has directed the state secretariat of the All Progressives Congress to immediately take measures for the amicable resolution of the internal differences arising from interested parties seeking nomination to contest election into the Kiru/Bebeji federal constituency.
“To this end, the party secretariat has complied and summoned a stakeholder meeting to discuss the situation in the constituency.
“An invitation has been sent to all the aspiring candidates for the position.
“Abdulmumin Jibrin Kofa has already accepted the proposal and readiness to attend the meeting.
“Abbas called on the parties to remain calm and cooperate with the party with a view to resolving the internal crisis and further assured that the meeting would come up with a position acceptable to all the aspirants.”
