From Desmond Mgboh, Kano

THE Central Working Commit­tee (CWC) of the All Progres­sive Congress in Kano State, has insisted that the disciplin­ary procedure initiated against the immediate past governor of the state, Rabiu Musa Kwank­waso, will continue.
Secretary to the CWC, Al­haji Abbas Sani Abbas, who disclosed this at a press confer­ence at the weekend, stressed that the committee, set up by the party to investigate the sad incident, will continue with its assignment adding that any­body found guilty, will be dealt with in line with the constitu­tion of the party.
Abbas, on behalf of the CWC, dissociated themselves from the statement of their Chairman, Hon Umar Haruna Doguwa, who repudiated the position of the party.
The party said it was sur­prised at Doguwa’s statement to the effect that he acted un­der duress in his statement initiating a disciplinary action against the former governor.
The CWC said in recant­ing his statement, Doguwa had betrayed the mandate given to him by the Executive Commit­tee of the party.
“We want to state categori­cally that the chairman made the statement on his own free will” they added that they were standing on their earlier state­ment as a party condemning the actions of the former gov­ernor in recruiting hoodlums and in disrupting the existing peace and harmony in the party.
Doguwa, it would be re­called, had on Saturday, declared that he signed the statement indicting for­mer Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso under duress. He also said that he addressed the press conference condemning the former governor under the same condition.
