Former Kano State governor and APC chairman Abdullahi Ganduje

A pro-democracy group, under the auspices of National Democratic Front (NDF), has faulted the ruling of the Kano State High Court which granted an ex parte order restraining the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, from parading himself as a member of the party.

NDF, in a statement signed by its president, Abdulkadir Bolaji, on heels of the judgement on Wednesday, described it as “judicial rascality taken too far” which must be quicky looked into by the National Judicial Council (NJC).

Bolaji insisted that the order was totally against the Court of Appeal Practice Directive, where judicial officers have been warned to stop meddling into political affairs and remain wholly apolitical.

In his words: “It is also ironic that within 48 hours of the purported sacking of Ganduje, the criminal elements in cahoot with their agents in the judiciary have suddenly sat and issued an order of court to stop His Excellency, Abdullahi Ganduje from remaining in office. This is sad and totally unacceptable.
