Following the sudden resignation of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has directed the Deputy National Chairman (North), Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, to immediately assume the role of Acting National Chairman
In a swift response to the development, Tinubu also instructed Dalori to urgently convene a meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) to formally address the leadership vacancy.
In a statement released Friday night, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, announced that Ganduje tendered his resignation to focus on “urgent and important personal matters.”
“In his letter of resignation addressed to the National Working Committee (NWC) through the National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, Dr. Ganduje expressed his gratitude to the President and Commander-in-Chief, His Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the opportunity to serve the party at the highest level,” the statement read.
Ganduje took over the party’s leadership in August 2023 following the resignation of his predecessor, Senator Abdullahi Adamu. Reflecting on Ganduje’s tenure, Morka noted his commitment to party unity, democratic values, and electoral competitiveness.
