Kano APC Crisis: Garo, Doguwa settle dispute as Ganduje wades in
Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje of Kano State has resolved the crisis between the deputy governorship candidate of All Progressives Congress ( APC), Murtala Sule Garo, and Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, Honourable Alhassan Ado Doguwa.
Doguwa had been accused of attacking Garo during a stakeholders’ meeting at the residence of the state deputy governor and APC governorship candidate, Nasiru Gawuna, injuring the former Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.
However, the Majority Leader denied the allegations, but threatened to continue fighting Garo “to the end.”
But on Tuesday, APC chairman in Kano, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas, said Ganduje had the reconciliation between the two party members.
He said,”I assure the public that there is no any crisis in our party anymore. Alhassan Ado and Murtala Garo have been reconciled. Everything is now in the past. We are now one and united.”
Abbas further stated that the APC members in Kano will continue working together in harmony to ensure the success of the party in the forthcoming 2023 elections.
Commenting on the development, Ado Doguwa declared that he had put the matter behind him and forged ahead to continue commitment towards the success of APC in Kano and the country.
He said, “His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi Ganduje, has reconciled Murtala Sule Garo, and I. The meeting was attended by Nasiru Aliko Koki and the state APC Chairman, Abdullahi Abbas, and the meeting started 11pm on Monday up to 4am of today.”
Doguwa further explained that, “We reviewed the crisis and apologized to each other. The governor told us kind words. He showed each of us where we were wrong. He offered advice and said he considers us both as his sons.
“W have resolved to bury the hatchet, and I will continue my support to the success of APC in 2023. I will continue to support Gawuna-Garo, Tinubu-Shettima and APC at all level in 2023.”
Doguwa also said he has forgiven Garo and all other party members and supporters that offended him, calling on them to forgive him too.
