There are reports suggesting that Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has stepped down from his role as the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress. While an official statement from the party is still pending, individuals familiar with the matter have confirmed that he has vacated the position.
Those close to the situation claim that Ganduje made the decision for health-related reasons. His departure is said to be effective immediately, though the details remain largely unofficial.
The news was first hinted at on social media, where a former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, shared that the resignation had been verified through trusted sources. Though brief, the message fueled further speculation and has since circulated widely.
Ganduje’s time as chairman has been shaped by internal divisions and public criticism. As reactions unfold, some within the party see his exit as a chance to reset leadership ahead of key national decisions.
Until a new chair is selected, the APC’s national secretary may temporarily take charge of party affairs. There is talk that the party could hold a formal convention later this year to choose a permanent replacement.
