The APC Youth Activist, Hon. Sadiq Ali Sango, has strongly criticized the party’s Former National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, and his close allies for anti-party activities during the recent by-elections in Kano State. Sango, who served as an international observer during the election, alleged that the APC leadership failed to show commitment in the Bagwai/Shanono and Ghari/Tsanyawa by-elections, a situation that made the party fragile and ultimately cost it victory to the NNPP at Bagwai/Shanono constituency. He accused prominent APC leaders in the state, including former APC National Chairman Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and his son Abba Ganduje, 2023 APC governorship candidate in Kano Nasiru Gawuna, and his deputy Murtala Sule Garo, Former State Minister for Housing Abdullahi Tijjani Gwarzo, for abandoning the party during a critical period.

APC youth activist Hon. Sadiq Ali Sango, has strongly defended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu against allegations of regional bias in federal project allocation, describing the accusations as baseless and politically motivated. Sango was reacting to an article authored by Salihu Tanko Yakasai, a former aide to ex-Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, titled “Emi Lokan or Lagos Lakon?” In the article, Yakasai claimed that President Tinubu had disproportionately concentrated multi-trillion naira federal projects in Lagos while neglecting northern states like Kano.  But Hon. Sango has dismissed the piece as “selective and dishonest,” warning against the manipulation of public opinion for political vendettas.  “President Tinubu is the President of Nigeria, not Lagos. His administration has demonstrated inclusiveness and fairness in project distribution. Kano, like other states, is benefitting from ongoing federal interventions” Sango said. He went further to challenge former Governor Gan...

  The Coalition of APC Progressive Youths has made a passionate appeal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to consider the appointment of Hon. Nasir Jaoji as a federal minister, describing him as "useful, resourceful, and far ahead of all current federal appointees from Kano State."
