Drama In APC: Morka Addresses Rumours Of Kwankwaso’s Comeback, Chairmanship Showdown Begins

Amid widespread rumours suggesting that President Bola Tinubu orchestrated the resignation of APC National Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje to pave the way for Kwankwaso’s defection ahead of the 2027 elections, Morka clarified that no such discussions are underway.

Speaking during an appearance on Politics Today on Channels Television, Morka said, “As far as I know, the party has not initiated or confirmed any talks regarding Kwankwaso joining. No such determination has been made.”

He also refuted claims of internal disarray within the APC, noting that preparations are ongoing to appoint a new national chairman following Ganduje’s resignation last week.

“This is an extraordinary development—the resignation of our party’s national chairman. We’re already taking steps to address it,” Morka explained. “A National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting will be convened soon, although the date hasn’t been fixed yet. Necessary consultations are ongoing to ensure consensus among key stakeholders before setting the date.”

He stressed that the APC remains functional and stable, despite the leadership shake-up. “The party is operating as expected. Disagreements and changes are normal in any political structure, but they don’t signal dysfunction.”

Responding to claims that President Tinubu was dissatisfied with Ganduje prior to his exit, Morka dismissed the assertions as speculative. “The President can speak on any matter whenever he chooses. Until he does, these remain mere assumptions. We cannot base actions on speculation,” he said.
