Dalori Takes Over as APC National Chairman After Ganduje’s Shock Resignation
In a surprise move, Abdullahi Ganduje has resigned as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), effective immediately. The APC National Working Committee has accepted the resignation, and President Bola Tinubu has directed Ali Bukar Dalori, the Deputy National Chairman (North), to assume the position of Acting National Chairman.
According to APC spokesman Felix Morka, Ganduje’s resignation is to enable him attend to “urgent and important personal matters.” Ganduje had been at the helm of the party since August 2023, following the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu. His tenure was marked by increasing resistance from within the party, particularly over concerns about the zoning arrangement.
Ganduje’s exit comes after he was appointed as the Board Chairman of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) by President Tinubu in January 2025. He was also reportedly slated to be a non-career ambassadorial nominee.
Dalori’s appointment as Acting National Chairman is pending the meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party, which will be summoned immediately to fill the vacancy created by Ganduje’s resignation. The development has sent shockwaves through the party, and reactions are expected to pour in from various stakeholders. #Dalori Takes Over as APC National Chairman After Ganduje’s Shock Resignation#
