BREAKING: Ganduje Succumbs To Pressure, Resigns As APC National Chairman

In a development that has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s political landscape, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has suddenly resigned as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), triggering fresh uncertainty and intensifying speculation of a brewing crisis within the ruling party.

The former Kano State Governor stepped down with immediate effect, citing health concerns. However, insiders suggest deeper fractures in the party hierarchy may have hastened his exit. Ganduje, who took over the APC’s leadership in August 2023 during a turbulent period, has faced mounting internal dissent and allegations of financial impropriety throughout his tenure.

His sudden departure—unaccompanied by any official statement from the party—has raised concerns among stakeholders and observers alike. Reports of disputes over excessive financial levies imposed on prospective candidates, particularly those seeking tickets for the FCT area council elections, have further stoked the flames of discontent within party ranks.

With the APC now facing questions about its internal cohesion and succession plans, Ganduje’s resignation could mark the beginning of a broader power struggle, as factions within the party reposition themselves ahead of future contests.
