A political group, Kano Integrity Block has urged well-meaning Nigerians to dismiss calls by sponsored youths portraying themselves as APC members, advocating for the removal of APC National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.

SOLACEBASE had reported an APC Youth group in Kano on Sunday at a news conference called for the sacking of Abdullahi Ganduje as APC National Chairman over failure to win the governorship election for the party in March last year’s general elections.

However, in a statement issued to newsmen in Abuja and jointly signed by Comrade Abubakar Indabawa and Musaddik Wada Waziri, Kano Integrity Block highlighted that the so-called APC youth are merely sponsored political group aiming to tarnish the hard-earned efforts of APC National Chairman, who has successfully reconciled aggrieved party members in states like Ondo and Rivers since his emergence almost seven months ago.

The Kano Integrity Block stated that the youths that addressed the press in Kano have no affiliation with the APC and are frustrated by the reconciliation success achieved by Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje as APC National Chairman, along with his efforts in revitalizing the party in Kano.

They mentioned that the youths are envious of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, recognizing him as the only Northern Nigeria Governor who secured the highest number of votes for President Tinubu during the 2023 presidential elections.

The Kano Integrity Block emphasized that during Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje’s 74th birthday celebration, President Tinubu described the APC National Chairman as a consummate politician, a loyal, and dependable ally who reached the pinnacle of his career in the civil service.

Kano Integrity Block, an amalgamation of youth groups dedicated to the political development of Kano state, called on the sponsored youths to seek suitable careers to build their futures instead of calling for the removal of the APC National Chairman, who has reached the pinnacle of his career over five decades ago.
