Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has reportedly resigned from his position with immediate effect.

The former Governor of Kano State, cited health reasons for his decision, stating that he needs to focus on his well-being.

While Mr Ganduje’s resignation letter attributes his decision to health concerns, sources familiar with the matter suggest that political tension within the party may have also played a role in his decision to step down.

Allegations of financial impropriety have also been linked to his resignation, with some party members reportedly protesting “excessive financial demands” imposed by his office.

Specifically, aspiring FCT area council candidates had complained about hefty fee requirements for receiving the party’s ticket.

Mr Ganduje’s resignation marks a significant shift in the APC’s leadership, and stakeholders are eagerly awaiting further clarification on the circumstances surrounding his departure.

The APC has yet to issue an official statement on his resignation, leaving many to speculate about the implications of this development for the party.
