The Kano State High Court, which had previously confirmed the suspension of Abdullahi Ganduje as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has now overturned its decision and vacated the order.
The development was due to Haladu Gwanjo and Laminu Sani Barguma obtaining a court order suspending Ganduje from his role as APC’s chairman, claiming to be the chairman and secretary of the party’s Ganduje Ward in Dawakin Tofa Local Government area of the state.
However, Justice Usman Na’Abba took into consideration a motion ex-parte, along with a 27-paragraph affidavit in support and a written address dated April 22, and rescinded his previous order.

The documents were sworn to by Glory Adah, a litigation secretary at the law firm representing the fourth respondent.
Na’ Abba said:
“An order of interim injunction is hereby granted staying the execution of the order of interim injunction contained in the ruling of this court delivered on 17h 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 Justice then adjourned the case to April 30 for the hearing.
