The chairmen of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from the North-West zone have endorsed former Kano State Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, for the national chairmanship of the party.
This was contained in a statement jointly signed by all the seven APC state chairmen from the zone comprising Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi, Jigawa, and Zamfara states on Wednesday, July 26, 2023.
The APC chairmen stated that they had “unanimously endorsed Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje as the National Chairman of the party”.
“This decision followed the immense contributions made to the party by the two-term governor of the second most populous state in the nation, Kano, especially at the 2023 general election which saw the emergence of our most enviable President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as President,” they added.

The party’s chairmen noted that Ganduje’s endorsement was based on their conviction on his “qualification, wealth of experience, maturity, steadfastness, commitment, and resilience”.
“Ganduje is the best person for the exalted office of chairman of the party, not only from the zone but in the country,” they stressed.
The chairmen further expressed their appreciation to President Tinubu for his support to the zone, assuring that they would always rally round him in his effort to make Nigeria greater.
The latest development is coming barely less than two weeks after Sen. Abdullahi Adamu resigned as the APC National Chairman.
The Star had reported that Ganduje is being considered as interim national chairman of the APC, pending the conduct of the party’s convention later this year.
