National chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has resigned from his position, effective immediately.
Ganduje, a former Governor of Kano State, cited health reasons for his decision, stating that he needs to focus on his well-being.
Ganduje’s tenure as APC chairman has been marked by controversy and challenges. He was elected as the APC National Chairman in August 2023, amidst internal party conflicts. Prior to his election, Ganduje served as the Governor of Kano State from 2015 to 2023.
While Ganduje’s resignation letter attributed his decision to health concerns, sources familiar with the matter suggested that political tension within the party might have also played a role in his decision to step down.
Allegations of financial impropriety have also been linked to his resignation, with some party members reportedly protesting “excessive financial demands” imposed by his office.
The APC is yet to issue an official statement on his resignation, leaving many to speculate about the implications of this development for the party.
