The All Progressives Congress (APC) has officially confirmed the resignation of its National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje.
In a statement released on Friday night, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Felix Morka, stated that Ganduje’s resignation takes immediate effect and was prompted by the need to attend to urgent personal matters.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ganduje’s resignation letter, submitted earlier on Friday, was addressed to the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) through the National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru.
In the letter, Ganduje, a former two-term Governor of Kano State, expressed his gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for the opportunity to lead the APC at the national level.
Following his resignation, Morka announced that the party’s Deputy National Chairman (North), Ali Dalori, has been directed to assume the role of Acting National Chairman pending the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for December. This is to ensure continuity and fill the leadership vacuum created by Ganduje’s departure.
Ganduje had assumed the role of National Chairman in August 2023, succeeding Senator Abdullahi Adamu. Reflecting on Ganduje’s tenure, Morka noted that he worked diligently to strengthen party unity, uphold democratic values, and boost the APC’s electoral competitiveness.
“The confidence placed in him by the party’s NEC and national caucus meetings in February 2025 was a profound recognition and honour for his service,” Morka stated.
He highlighted some of Ganduje’s achievements, including successful defections from opposition parties and court rulings affirming the APC’s leadership structure.
Reassuring party members, Morka affirmed that the APC remains committed to delivering transformative governance in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.
He expressed the party’s appreciation for Ganduje’s service and wished him good health and continued success in his future pursuits.
