In a sudden and unexpected development, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has officially tendered his resignation, with immediate effect.
Ganduje, who served as Governor of Kano State from 2015 to 2023, cited health concerns as the primary reason for stepping down from the party’s top leadership role. In his resignation statement, he emphasized the need to focus on his personal well-being and attend to medical matters that require his full attention.
The move comes just months ahead of the APC’s scheduled national convention in December 2025. Until then, the party’s National Vice Chairman is expected to step in and assume leadership in an acting capacity, ensuring continuity and stability within the party’s national executive structure.
Ganduje’s resignation has sparked discussions across political circles, with many viewing it as a pivotal moment for the ruling party, especially as preparations intensify ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Further details are expected to emerge as the APC prepares for the leadership transition and convention planning.
