The sudden resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has ignited intense political maneuvering within the party. As factions vie for control, Ganduje’s supporters are resisting the move, alleging it was influenced by external pressures and political scheming.
While the APC has yet to officially confirm Ganduje’s resignation, insiders say party leaders are quietly negotiating his replacement, with names of possible successors already making the rounds. The resignation, reportedly prompted by rising legal battles and mounting internal criticism, has left a vacuum that power blocs within the party are eager to fill.
Ganduje’s loyalists, however, argue that his removal was orchestrated by certain high-ranking figures in the party aiming to consolidate power ahead of the 2027 general elections. They claim his exit undermines internal democracy and could destabilize the APC if not carefully managed.
Political analysts observe that the unfolding situation may reshape the party’s leadership structure and significantly affect preparations for future elections. Meanwhile, party elders are reportedly stepping in to manage tensions and prevent a deeper crisis from erupting.
