Justice Usman Mallam Na’Abba of Kano State High Court has reversed self, vacating order of suspension slammed on the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje.
One Haladu Gwanjo and Laminu Sani Barguma, who claimed to be the chairman and secretary, respectively, of the APC Ganduje Ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area of the state, had secured an order suspending Ganduje as the chairman of the party.
However, in a twist of events, the presiding Judge of the High Court, Justice Usman Na’Abba, vacated his earlier order upon reading a motion ex-parte together with 27-paragraph affidavit in support and a written address dated April 22, 2024, sworn to by one Glory Adah, a litigation secretary, in the 4th respondent solicitors law firm.
“And after hearing, Mr. L. O. Oyewo, Esq, with A. Falana, Esq and J. Essiet, Esq, counsels of the 4th respondent/applicant, an order of interim injunction is hereby granted”.
The interim injunction order is for staying of the execution of the order of interim injunction contained in the ruling of the court delivered on the 17th April, 2024 directing parties to maintain status quo ante as at the 15th day of April, 2024 in relation to the suspension of the 4th respondent/applicant from the 1st respondent by the Ganduje Ward Executive Committee pending the hearing and determination of the 4th respondent/applicant motion on notice. The Judge then adjourned to April 30, 2024, for hearing on the case.
