Protesters swarmed the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, demanding the immediate resignation of National Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje. The gathering, fueled by Ganduje's recent suspension by a faction of his ward executives and bribery allegations from the Kano State government, reverberated with chants for change.
Voices from the protest highlighted a deeper rift within the party, with calls for the return of APC chairmanship to the North Central region and accusations of Ganduje's tenure violating the party's zoning principles. While a faction of 37 APC state chairmen expressed unwavering support for Ganduje, North Central stakeholders stood firm in their lack of confidence and insistence on his resignation.
The tension underscored the growing discontent among party members, particularly from the North Central region, who feel marginalized in the decision-making process. As the debate over Ganduje's leadership intensifies, the future direction of the APC hangs in the balance, with ramifications for the nation's political landscape.
