Mr Abdullahi Ganduje, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress has been suspended by members of his ward, the Ganduje Ward in the Dawakin Tofa local government area of Kano State over corruption allegations.
The suspension was announced by Halliru Gwanzo, legal adviser of the ward while addressing newsmen in Kano on Monday.
Gwanzo said that Ganduje has to clear his name of corruption allegations regarding his long-standing dollar case.
Recall that Daily Nigerian, a digital media had captured Ganduje in a video allegedly receiving bundles of dollar notes as a bribe from a man said to be a contractor and stuffing them in the pockets of his gown.
Though, Mr Ganduje had denied the content of the video when it first surfaced online and maintained his innocence.
But the current administration of governor Abba Yusuf revisited the case, vowing to prosecute the ex-governor.
