Following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje as the national chairman, ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has concluded plans to produce his replacement at a National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting scheduled for July 24,2025.
This was disclosed Monday by the Deputy National Secretary of the party, Festus Faunter, while addressing journalists at end of the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party at its national secretariat in Abuja.
Although, the Deputy National Chairman, North, Hon Bukar Dalori had earlier on Monday assumed office in acting capacity in line with the constitution of APC, however, the NWC rose from its meeting Monday with a resolution to produce a substantive National Chairman at the NEC meeting.
Fuanter explained that the NEC meeting which is the highest organ of the party will determine the way forward for the party, following the surprise resignation of Dr. Abdulahi Ganduje.
He stated further that the meeting was a direct fallout of the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje last week Friday.
The Deputy National Secretary added that a notice for the NEC meeting has already been forwarded to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Reacting to several protests and calls by some party stakeholders from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) for a cancellation of the recently conducted primary elections, Faunter said such decision can only be reached after a wide consultation or all the party hierarchy.
