The All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed Alhaji Dalori as the new Acting National Chairman of the party, following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje from his position on Friday. Ganduje, who assumed office in August 2023 following the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu, had faced sustained agitation from North Central leaders who argue that their region deserves to produce the next party chairman.
According to sources close to the APC National Working Committee, Ganduje's resignation is part of broader efforts to stabilize the party and strengthen its unity ahead of the 2027 general elections. "The APC is reportedly planning to appoint one of its current national vice chairmen as acting chairman until a new substantive leader is elected at the party's national convention scheduled for December," a source revealed.
The development is seen as a calculated political compromise, aimed at maintaining party unity and ensuring a smooth transition. While Ganduje's tenure was marked by significant challenges, his resignation is expected to pave the way for a new leadership that will drive the party's agenda ahead of the 2027 general elections.
As the new Acting National Chairman, Alhaji Dalori is expected to provide leadership and direction to the party, working closely with other stakeholders to ensure the party's continued growth and success. The APC's decision to appoint an acting chairman is a strategic move, aimed at maintaining stability and continuity within the party until a new substantive leader is elected.
The party's national convention, scheduled for December, is expected to be a crucial event that will determine the party's future leadership and direction. As the APC navigates this transition period, stakeholders are watching with keen interest to see how the party will emerge stronger and more united.
