Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has stepped down as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing health concerns.
The resignation of the former Kano State Governor is said to be effective immediately, according to party insiders and confirmed posts on social media.
The development was made public on Friday through a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Bashir Ahmad, a former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari.
Although the APC is yet to release an official statement, sources within the party say Ganduje made the decision to prioritize his health.
His exit comes amid growing internal tensions and controversies that have trailed his brief tenure as party chairman.Ganduje, who served two terms as governor of Kano State, was appointed APC chairman in 2023 following the resignation of his predecessor, Senator Abdullahi Adamu. His leadership period saw recurring disputes over party structure, internal democracy, and alignments ahead of the next general elections.
The APC is now expected to initiate a transition process to fill the leadership vacuum, with attention turning to who might succeed him. As speculation builds, stakeholders within the ruling party are reportedly engaging in consultations to maintain unity ahead of upcoming political contests.
