Resigned APC National Chairman, Dr Ganduje
National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, has resigned from his position.
Although the exact circumstances surrounding his resignation remain unclear as of press time, a senior party official confirmed the development, stating simply, “Yes, it is true. He has resigned.”
Sources revealed that Ganduje’s personal belongings were earlier moved from his office at the APC national secretariat, further fueling speculation.
The development has thrown the party’s headquarters into confusion, with staff and visitors visibly shocked by the unexpected news.
Sources disclosed that Ganduje would be replaced with a national vice chairman of the party, pending convention in December.
It was gathered the move is to assuage agitation from stakeholders in the North Central region as well as mounting internal oppositions against the party leader.
It would be recalled that Ganduje was appointed in August 2023 after the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu.
Since then, stakeholders from the North Central region have been making a case for the return of the seat to the region.
Sources said Ganduje, who hailed from Kano, was persuaded to throw in the towel as the ruling party strategizes ahead of 2027. (Pieced together from reports by Vanguard and Nigerian Daily)
