A group of the ruling party known as the Forum of Stakeholders of the All Progressive Congress (APC), has advised the embattled national Chairman of the party, Abdullahi Ganduje, to resign from his position. The North-Central chairman of the forum, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, announced in an interview granted to the newsmen on Tuesday, 21 May 2024 in Jos.

According to him, there have been calls from different groups within the party for the removal of Ganduje from office, and his assertion to retain his position does not portray the party in a good light. He said the party’s stakeholders from the North-West, who passed a vote of confidence on Ganduje, insisted that such decisions would only throw the party into serious confusion.

“There have been several votes of no confidence passed on Ganduje from his Kano Ward, as well as other protests and litigations, among other agitations against him. But his insistence on remaining in office will only take the APC backwards and tear the party apart. Ganduje already has a lot of issues surrounding him, and the best thing for him is to quit so that he doesn’t cause any harm or constitute a legal liability for the party,” Zazzaga stressed.

He added that the position of the national chairman of the party should normally go to the North-Central region and called on the party to consider zoning it to the region.

“Based on party arrangements, someone from North-Central should have replaced the former national Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, not Ganduje, who is from the North-West. In the spirit of fairness and equity, the chairmanship position should be occupied by someone from the north-central region. We are also part of the ruling party and have played a key role in the emergence of President Bola Tinubu,” he maintained.
