More governors are coming to APC, Ganduje says

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State has revealed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is making preparation to receive more governors who would defect for a greater Nigeria.

“For your information, there are indications that more governors are coming to our great party, the APC, from other places. Our internal democracy is waxing stronger day by day,” he said.

According to a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Comrade Abba Anwar, Ganduje said this when members of the APC Registration/Revalidation Appeals Committee paid him a courtesy call at Governor’s Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja with Faruq Adamu Aliyu chairing the Committee.

He, however, dispelled rumours about the aftermath of the recently held registration/revalidation exercise, which claimed that some party members were marginalised in the exercise, he debunked that, “As far as we are concerned nobody was marginalised in the exercise.”

He said: “I want use this opportunity to congratulate you for getting us more entrants into our party. We thank you for the good exercise conducted. This makes our party to wax stronger and improve internal democracy.”

While commending the committee for the good job done, he further explained that “whatever kind of internal election we are going to conduct, it is absolutely important to see this in place. There is no better time to have this exercise than now.”

The governor challenged that “if some people feel they are marginalised in the exercise, our doors are still opened. So we are ready to register anyone, no matter his position, no matter his opinion about us and the party.”

Aliyu, who led the committee to the governor, said “it was out of good concern and consideration from the part of the governor to see the committee and commend us for the exercise.”

“Your Excellency there is no petition from Kano State. And when some people came, we found out that some claims were mere allegations against the exercise that were not true. We also came and found out that no substantive petition came from the state,” he disclosed.
