The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has dismissed concerns over former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s recent visit to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, saying the APC remains unshaken and focused on strengthening its base.
Speaking while briefing journalists shortly after leading a delegation of APC stakeholders to meet with Buhari at his Kaduna residence, Ganduje stated that their visit was to brief the former president on the party’s progress since his exit from office and to reaffirm their commitment to upholding his legacy.
“We are not worried at all. We came to pay our respects to the former president and also to update him on the achievements of our great party since his departure. We assured him that we would continue to keep him informed regularly,” Ganduje said.
Reacting to Atiku’s earlier visit to Buhari widely interpreted as a possible alignment of political interests, Ganduje said APC is on a solid path.
“That visit is of no concern to us. It’s just another attempt at repeating history, but it won’t work. What they are trying to build is not viable. Some particles simply cannot come together,” he stated.
While avoiding specifics, the APC chairman hinted at strategic plans to counter any opposition moves, assuring the public that the ruling party remains well-prepared.
“We won’t disclose our intricacies or technicalities, but we are equal to the task. The progress President Tinubu has made is strengthening the party even further,” he said.
