Coalition Hails Judiciary’s Intervention In Ganduje’s ‘Suspension’

“These guys carried out this action without fear of the law and still went to the Kano State High Court to obtain an order against the APC National Chairman.

“We received calls from international organisations seeking clarification on how non-APC Members suspended the APC National Chairman and the court upheld it. The burden of explanation became cumbersome, making the job of Civil Society Organizations in Nigeria more difficult.
