APC congress: Kano reps Sha’aban, Jobe march to submit parallel ward results

Two House of Representatives members from Kano state on Monday marched to the headquarters of the All Progressive Congress (APC) in the state to submit the results of a parallel congress that members of the party loyal to them organized.

The two representatives, Sha’aban Sharada (Kano Municipal) and Tijjani Abdulkadir Jobe (Tofa/Dawakin Tofa/ Rimingado, the constituency of the state governor, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje) are among party stakeholders in the state who are opposed to the consensus arrangement adopted by the party for the Saturday ward congress across the state.

• Fulani, Irigwe, Bache youths sign social media peace agreement

Both of them are considered to be at loggerheads with the state governor, Ganduje and the leadership of the party in the state.

Accompanied by hundreds of their supporters in buses, bikes and tricycles, Zahraddeen Muktar, who introduced himself as the Chairman, Congress Committee for Kano municipal LGA while surrounded by the lawmakers said they were at the headquarters of the party to submit the results of the congress they conducted but met the party office locked.

It was however gathered that while they were on their way to the office of the caretaker chairman in the state, a clash broke out along State Road leading to the firing of tear gas by security officers to disperse the youths before they unleash mayhem.

Daily Trust reports that some members of the party in the state, especially those in Buhari Support Organization, had opposed the consensus arrangement.
