Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, stated on Thursday that there is no truth to allegations suggesting he is involved in a new plot to unseat the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II.
This denial follows a viral social media report claiming, “Ganduje leads a fresh plot to dethrone Emir Muhammad Sanusi.”
It’s worth noting that Sanusi was previously deposed during Ganduje’s tenure as governor, a decision later upheld by the courts, which many believe was influenced by the previous administration.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday, Ganduje, through his Senior Special Assistant on Public Enlightenment, distanced himself from any alleged attempt to remove the 16th Emir of Kano and Chairman of the Council of Chiefs.

The statement read, “Ganduje has nothing to do with the present enthronement or dethronement of Emir Mohammad Sanusi in Kano. It should be noted that he is no longer the executive governor or the speaker of the House of Assembly and therefore cannot have anything to do further with the Emirship of Kano”
“It is laughable that Ganduje who has left office as governor for some years now would be accused of masterminding a fresh plot to remove or enthrone an Emir. He is now very busy with leading the APC. He is satisfied with the enormous contributions he made in terms of massive dividends of democracy, infrastructural developments, and the good governance he provided while he held sway as governor.”
“Those who are behind this sinister move to malign the APC national chairman have revealed the clandestine and dangerous motive of the sponsors to create bad blood between Ganduje and the presidency.
“Let me reiterate here that he has great respect for the national leader of the party, President Bola Tinubu. The relationship has been very cordial and no amount of blackmail can destroy the solidity of the partnership.”
