Abdullahi Ganduje steps down; acting chairperson Dalori takes over.
Abdullahi Ganduje, who has piloted the All Progressives Congress (APC) as National Chairman, officially resigned today amid mounting internal pressure. Ganduje's tenure faced criticism over alleged power centralization and weak coordination with state chapters. At a press briefing, he announced his resignation, stating it was in the party's best interest ahead of upcoming state and national elections .
Stepping in as acting chairman is party veteran Dalori, tasked with organizing a seamless transition. Party insiders suggest Dalori’s appointment signals a move toward inclusive leadership and revitalization. The APC is expected to convene an emergency delegates' conference to elect a permanent replacement.
Political analysts suggest Ganduje’s departure opens space for emerging influencers within APC, possibly shifting strategic alliances in the run-up to 2027. Yet, challenges persist—including reconciling factions and solidifying grassroots support.
