‘He leaves with great pride’: APC speaks on Ganduje’s resignation

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has spoken about the resignation of the party’s National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje.

The APC confirmed Ganduje’s resignation via a statement issued by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, on Friday, June 27, 2025.

Morka stated that Ganduje’s resignation, which was to enable him to attend to urgent and important personal matters, was with immediate effect.

Ganduje’s resignation letter, which he submitted earlier on Friday, was addressed to the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), through the National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru.

Morka said the party’s Deputy National Chairman (North), Ali Dalori, had been directed to assume the position of acting National Chairman, pending the meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) in December.

This, he said, was to immediately fill the vacancy created by Ganduje’s resignation.

Morka said: “Throughout his tenure, he dedicated himself to strengthening the party’s unity and cohesion, expounding its democratic ideals and enhancing the party’s electoral competitiveness.

“The confidence placed in him by the party’s NEC and national caucus meetings in February 2025 was a profound recognition and honour for his service.

“He leaves his position as national chairman with great pride in our collective achievements, including successful defections from opposition parties and legal affirmations of our party leadership’s legitimacy.”

He assured APC faithful that the party remained steadfast and unwavering in its mission to deliver transformative governance for all Nigerians, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

The APC spokesman expressed gratitude to Ganduje for his contributions and record of service to the party.

He prayed for his good health and success in his future endeavours and in service to the nation and humanity.

Ganduje assumed the leadership of the APC in August 2023, following the resignation of his predecessor, Abdullahi Adamu.
