In a surprising development, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has officially resigned from his position with immediate effect.
Ganduje, a former Governor of Kano State, cited health reasons for his resignation, stating that he needs to “focus on his well-being.”
Mr. Ganduje’s time as APC chairman has been fraught with controversy and internal challenges.
Elected in August 2023 amid escalating party disputes, he previously served as Governor of Kano State from 2015 to 2023.
While his resignation letter attributes his decision to health-related concerns, sources close to the situation suggest that mounting political tensions within the party may have influenced his move to step aside.
There have also been allegations of financial misconduct tied to his leadership, with some party members reportedly protesting against what they described as “excessive financial demands” from his office.
More to come.
