The political situation in Kano State appear sitting on a hotbed. This is as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] ordered the dissolution of the PDP executives in Kano State thus ending a constitutional tenure that is remaining three years to complete for the state executives.
The dissolution comes following Aa Kano High Court order restraining the National Headquarters of the Peopleโs Democratic Party (PDP) and its Chairman Uche Secondus from tempering or disfiguring the existing State Executive structure of the Party under its elected Chairman Senator Masaud Jibrin El-Doguwa. The presiding Judge, Justice N. S Umar in his rulings averred that an order has been granted ordering the applicants and the respondents to maintain the status quo ante, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice. In the same vein the Judge said in his rulings that an order of interim injunction is further granted restraining any other person or persons from interfering or tempering with the tenure of the existing leadership structure of PDP in Kano.
The PDP inevitably disordered the injunction order.
The national PDP intends to have Kwankwaso appoint the new executive members to reflect his choice candidates.
