While some NWC members have labeled the news of Ganduje’s potential appointment as mere speculation, others have expressed criticism towards the President’s decision, questioning the wisdom of bringing him into the party’s leadership after not accommodating him in his cabinet…CONTINUE READING

Ganduje, initially believed to be considered for a ministerial role, was reportedly chosen by President Tinubu to succeed Abdullahi Adamu, who unexpectedly resigned.

The Progressives Governors’ Forum, representing the party’s governors, reportedly met and agreed to endorse Ganduje as Adamu’s successor.

However, some members of the APC NWC have voiced opposition to this choice.

Former Deputy Spokesman for the party, Yekini Nabena, raised concerns over the matter, asserting that the next national chairman would be decided through a mini-convention vote.

He emphasized that introducing Ganduje might create divisions within the NWC, particularly if the position is intended to be zoned to the North-Central region, not the North-West, where Ganduje hails from.

National Vice Chairman for South-East, Dr. Ijeoma Arodiogbu, considered the reports as mere speculations and stated that the party has not made any official decision on the matter yet.

Other APC NWC members, who preferred anonymity, also expressed opposition to the idea of backing Ganduje, arguing that the office of the party’s national chairman should be zoned to the North-Central geopolitical zone, not the North-West, where Ganduje belongs.

They expressed concern that Ganduje’s possible candidacy could create tensions within the party.
