The Forum of All Progressives Congress State Chairmen, has passed a vote of confidence on the National Chairman of the party, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje.

During a show of solidarity, the 37 state chairmen's delegation visited the party's Abuja secretariat and offered their backing. 

The beleaguered national chairman spoke out about his alleged suspension by his ward in Kano State's Dawakin Tofa Local Government Area.

Rocketparrot News as at last week reported that Haladu Gwanjo, the ward's legal adviser, persuaded certain party officials to declare the former Kano governor suspended. 

Gwanjo claimed that nine executive members of the APC ward made the decision, and he based the alleged suspension on the bribery case that was filed against Ganduje and his wife. 

Addressing the audience on Tuesday, the acting chairman of the forum and Lagos APC chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi, said they were solidly behind Ganduje and would defend him against external aggression.

He said, “We are here this afternoon on just one mission. Chairman, we are here to let you know that you’re the captain of the ship.

“We are here to let you know that we are also your foot soldiers in the 36 states of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and FCT.

“We are here to show our solidarity and sincere commitment to appreciate what members of the National Working Committee have been doing in standing by you, by giving you total support.

“We feel it’s important that the act of that solidarity should not be limited to members of the NWC alone. Today, we bring the solidarities from the 36 states of the federation, including FCT, to tell members of the public through the media that we’re solidly behind you.

“You have started the journey, a journey of growing our party, a journey of expanding our party, a journey of restructuring our party and a journey of making."

Appreciating the gesture, the APC national chairman fingered the New Nigeria People’s Party and Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, as the brain behind his purported suspension.
