The Presidency has spoken
concerning an allegation that President Muhammadu Buhari was behind the removal
of Umar Haruna Doguwa as Chairman of the Kano State All Progressives Congress,
APC.
Reacting to the allegation by a
political support group, Concerned Members of the APC, Presidential spokesman
Malam Garba Shehu warned the warring parties to leave Buhari out of it.
According to Shehu, at no time
did the president involve himself in the internal conflict of any APC chapter
in the country and would never do so.
He stated: “Anybody who knows the
President’s principles would not believe any allegations linking Buhari to
interference in the election or removal of party leaders across the country.
“In fact, it is an irony that
President Buhari, who was accused in the past of not taking control of the
National Assembly by imposing in the President of the Senate and Speaker, two
critical institutions in the running of our democracy will now be accused of
abandoning those principles to order the removal of the chairman of the Kano
APC party chapter.
“I am 100 percent convinced that
this group, which is being associated with the respected senator representing
Kano, Dr Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso did not seek his permission or clear their script
with him before they dragged the name of the President into this matter.
Governor Kwankwaso knows President Buhari too well to reduce him to this level.
“This group is hereby advised to
stop belittling the person and office of the President by dragging his name
into their local party quarrels. It is unfair to attack President Buhari over
an issue he knew nothing about.”
