The national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) will on Monday unveil the template for sharing party positions between factions led by the state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje and a senator representing Kano Central, Ibrahim Shekarau.
The spokesman of Senator Shekarau, Dr Sule Yau Sule, in a phone interview with Daily Trust on Sunday, said this was the outcome of a Saturday night meeting held between the two camps.
The meeting was organised by the APC Caretaker and Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee led by its chairman, Mai Mala Buni with Governor of Zamfara State, Bello Matawalle and former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara also in attendance.
The Saturday meeting appeared to be the conclusion of the chains of meeting to put an end to the crisis rocking the ruling party in Kano State.
It had in attendance Governor Ganduje, Senator Shekarau and his ally Senator Barau Jibrin (Kano North), as well as Senator Kabiru Gaya (who is on the side of the state governor).
It was gathered that the template is expected to be an all-inclusive one for the APC in Kano which would be revealed to both sides on Monday.
“We made our own position and they made their own position and now they have sat on the two positions and they said out of that they are coming up with a sharing formula which they said will be all-inclusive, which means all of us will be part of the excos.
“A high powered committee from the secretariat to be constituted and dispatched to Kano to ensure strict compliance and implementation of the template to be given on Monday,” Sule added.
Daily Trust reports that the crisis is already a subject of litigation with the Shekarau’s camp winning at the high court.
Dissatisfied with the high court’s decision, Ganduje’s camp has filed an appeal before the appellate court, which had heard the appeal and adjourned for the ruling.
But with the parties seemingly coming to a truce administratively, it is not yet clear how the legal battle will pan out.
