No Plan To Remove Ganduje, Says APC

Recent speculations about a potential removal of Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje from his role as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have intensified. Rumors suggest that President Bola Tinubu might be considering appointing Ganduje to an ambassadorial position, ostensibly to divert attention from his ongoing corruption trial….. CONTINUE READING

These rumors, which initially appeared as mere gossip, have gained traction on social media and various online platforms, with several reports citing unnamed sources within the APC and the Presidency. Some political analysts suspect that these rumors could be strategically planted by northern APC members who are pushing for the party’s leadership to return to the North-Central zone following the departure of Ganduje’s predecessor, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.

Three months ago, a protest by North-Central APC members demanding the return of the chairmanship to their zone was met with violence. Protesters had gathered at the party’s headquarters, urging Ganduje to resign and face his legal issues in Kano. Subsequently, Muhammad Etsu, a former APC chairmanship aspirant from the region, sought a legal injunction to prevent Ganduje from continuing as national chairman, arguing that the leadership position should remain in North-Central rather than being zoned to the North-West.

In response to the speculation, APC Deputy National Organising Secretary Nze Chidi Duru dismissed the notion of removing Ganduje, calling it “ridiculous.” He emphasized that frequent changes in party leadership could lead to instability and disrupt the party’s structure. Duru reaffirmed that the chairmanship had been zoned to the North-West by the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC), with all necessary parties in attendance. He suggested that those dissatisfied with this decision could seek redress through legal channels.

APC Deputy National Secretary Festus Fuanter declined to comment further on the matter.
