Abdullahi Ganduje has resigned from his position as national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ganduje, who governed Kano state from 2015 to 2023, announced his resignation with immediate effect.

TheCable understands that President Bola Tinubu has virtually persuaded Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Ganduje’s mortal rival, to defect to the party.

A senior official at the APC national secretariat, who asked not to be named, told TheCable that the development was accurate but declined to speak on record.

“Between me and you, it is true, but I can’t confirm officially — and please don’t quote me,” the source said.

Another source said Ganduje would be replaced by one of the party’s national vice chairmen in an acting capacity, pending the convention scheduled for December.

Ganduje’s exit comes amid a flurry of recent public engagements that appeared at odds with his stated health concerns.

Earlier today, he led the APC national working committee (NWC) on a condolence visit to Umaru Bago, governor of Niger, at the state liaison office in Abuja.

They offered their sympathies over the devastating Mokwa flood, which has claimed over 200 lives and displaced thousands, as well as a spate of bandit attacks in Mariga LGA.

On Thursday, Ganduje, accompanied by Surajudeen Ajibola Basiru, APC national secretary, attended the second quarterly consultative meeting between INEC and political party leaders at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.

The resignation marks the end of Ganduje’s short but controversial tenure as APC chairman, which began in August 2023 following his appointment by the party’s national executive committee (NEC).

His leadership had been dogged by legal battles, factional disputes within the Kano chapter of the party, and resistance from key APC stakeholders.

Now, attention shifts to the prospect of Kwankwaso joining the APC ahead of the 2027 elections.

A former Kano governor and presidential candidate of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) in 2023, Kwankwaso remains one of the most influential political figures in the north.

Jagaban FC signing every available heavy weight player available for 2027 season.

You can’t just underestimate the political prowess of His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR).

Having a better replacement on standby!

This is what you call a leader. Someone ready to make more efficient substitutions when it matters.

We are living in the times of a political demigod.

The beginning of the end. This is a strategic mistake for Tinubu in the North but I will not explain.

If Ganduje has indeed resigned, he's a winner with technical knock out. He won almost the major elections for Apc as the chairman of the party while there was decorum within the party

Sagidion:
It will still end in tears for the satanic and hopeless regime.

Why are you crying 😭😭? I just love the shape of your mouth as tears are rolling down from your cheeks.

The greatest error kwankwasiya can ever do is to join APC.. kwankwaso is necessary in keeping the APC under check in the north

Done seal.. Kano now ready to deliver Jagaban for 2027.

This might be a political masterstroke, especially if Jagaban now makes Kwakwanso his VP candidate for the next election. E go loud!!

All is not well with APC, I Was told so about 2 weeks ago.
I even said it in one of my comments on this platform but many did not believe because they are not privileged to access such information.

Jagaban, the mathematician, he dey teach them simple lesson 101.

Jagaban is my small boi.

Tinubu knows nothing about governance. The only thing he knows is politics. That's why his APC is a party that worked hard to win the presidential election just to render the country useless.

The fall of APC will be comical...


The imbroglio in the party will be entertaining

When i saw the news earlier I knew something was off

So he sent Ganduje away for his own 2027 ambition


Kwankwaso will definitely be his next VP


The rest agbadoʻ and apc politicians can wait till 2031

This druglord was never ready for governance, he has spent so many years politicking, and is now part of him ,he has been politicking even after grabbing power, this is why the economy is in disarray....the old man should just do 1 term and rest

Bye bye Shettima
Tinubu always use and dump deputies

And believe this Kwakwanso will be the APC presidential candidate 2031

I knew this was going to happen. I posted about it 1 month ago but some people thought I didn’t know what I was talking about

givedemwotowoto:
If kwankwaso defects to APC, it will be to become VP to Tinubu in hopes of being the next president since Nigeria is now running gerontocracy, and shettima will be compensated with party leadership because Gandollar will have to step down as chairman with kwankwaso as VP. There will be realignments and people will start crying. Gandollar won’t dare to defect though, he has a pending corruption case

Dey play. The people are wiser...Voters are now wiser..

The north is cooking something for Tinubu similar to what tinubu incited them to cook for Jonathan in 2015? They are now going to reach tinubu real politics . They still believe in that Ahmadu bello mantra of “ one north” against everybody which make their politics be like secret cult that you don’t know what is happening until final day or you think malami joined obedient movement without buhari and their kingmakers consent? They have just woken up to Tinubu’s game of using igbo persecution ruse to deceive them into political bondage when in actual fact Igbo pose no threat to northern oligarchy politically as Igbos are mainly business people and majorly only interested in good governance and not Nigerian murky politics

Tinubu ought to be the one to resign, step aside, and go take good care of himself not persuading others to resign

What will now be the fate of coalition. I pity El Rufai the butterfly who thinks himself a bird

Hmmmmmm...... we not practising politics in this country, rather, selfish interest.

Are you sure he isn't eyeing Shettima's seat? Why resign when the regime is only half way gone...

AMINDA:
The beginning of the end. This is a strategic mistake for Tinubu in the North but I will not explain.

Who is the "North"

Is Kwakwanso, Ganduje and all Northern governor parts of the "North"?

Is El-Rufai, the midget the North?

Kwankwaso for vice president 2027/president 2031.
