The All Progressives Congress (APC) has confirmed the resignation of its National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje.

In a statement issued on Friday night, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Felix Morka, announced that Ganduje stepped down with immediate effect to attend to urgent personal matters.

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

The former two-term governor of Kano State expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for the opportunity to serve the party at its highest level.

Morka noted that the Deputy National Chairman (North), Ali Dalori, had been directed to assume the role of acting National Chairman, pending the next meeting of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) scheduled for December.

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

“During his tenure, he worked to strengthen party unity, promote democratic ideals, and improve our electoral competitiveness,” Morka stated.

He added that the confidence placed in Ganduje by the party’s NEC and caucus in February 2025 was a testament to his leadership.

“He departs with pride in our collective achievements, including successful defections from opposition parties and legal affirmations of our leadership’s legitimacy,” Morka added.

He assured party members that the APC remained committed to delivering transformative governance in line with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Morka expressed appreciation for Ganduje’s contributions and wished him good health and success in his future endeavours.
