Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje supports the disqualification of Governor Obaseki of Edo

The Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has declared his support for the decision of All Progressive Congress to disqualify Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo, from the party’s governorship primary.

On Friday, the APC screening committee disqualified Obaseki from the June 22 governorship primary election.

National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, the national chairman of the party, has been having a running battle with Obaseki, whom he supported in 2016.

Speaking with reporters on Monday, Ganduje said what matters at the moment is the legal implications of the likely outcome of the exercise.

“As far as Edo is concerned, we are worried about the legality of our action. We believe the national headquarters of our party is doing all it takes to stay in the right course,” he said.

“We are conscious of legal implications, we don’t want to overlook anything that will turn to be our albatross, the issue of Bayelsa state where we won an election and taken away is still fresh in our memory. ”

Ganduje expressed optimism that no matter what happened, the APC would emerge victorious in the forthcoming gubernatorial election in Edo.
