Abdullahi Umar Ganduje Resigns as APC National Chairman

The resignation of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje as the APC national chairman has stirred a lot of controversy on the street of the social media.

Ganduje who resigned his position as the National chairman of the ruling party, citing health conditions stirs speculations enough to keep Nigerians distracted for the next fews days as Bola Ahmed Tinubu jets to Brazil.

Below is the official memo from the APC :

Some persons are speculating that Tinubu in his usual mind game masterminded the entire script as to oust his vice, Kashim Shettima.

SSome are saying Kwamkwaso is the person they’re planning on bringing to the chess board.

However, the Labour Party 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi has this to say on his official X handle :

“Ganduje’s Timely Challenge to Leaders

I have just read a news report that the National Chairman of the ruling party, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has resigned from his position with immediate effect, citing health challenges as the reason.

I must commend Dr. Ganduje for prioritising his health above all else. With his health reportedly in decline, it is both wise and honourable to step aside, knowing that he may no longer be able to render the level of service required by the party, the people, and the nation.

By this exemplary action, Dr. Ganduje has thrown a challenge to other leaders who, due to health-related issues, are no longer able to deliver optimally. I sincerely hope they take a cue from him.

The challenges confronting our nation today require leaders who are not only competent but also physically and mentally fit, leaders with the capacity and agility to respond decisively and promptly to pressing issues.

At this critical point and difficult time, we can no longer afford leadership defined by medical tourism, long holidays, or absenteeism caused by age-related ailments. These things are taking a serious toll on our development.

May God Almighty grant Dr. Ganduje a peaceful and fulfilling retirement.

Indeed, a new Nigeria is POssible.

-PO”

Peter Obi’s tweet is nothing short of satire….

However, below are some random views of Netizens :

“Kicking out Ganduje just to accommodate Kwankwaso would be the biggest political miscalculation APC has ever made.

Ganduje isn’t just more competent, he has deeper grassroots support, loyal followership, and far more love from the masses than RMK could ever claim.”

” Ganduje’s resignation is either part of the Northern agenda, or Tinubu has sensed a betrayal. Asiwaju is not Jonathan. You don’t have to like him, but dude is a shrewd politician. He came to us shaking. Now we are the ones shaking 🫨”.

“I believe Tinubu must have promised Ganduje a big appointment just to convince him to resign as APC chairman all for personal political reasons, especially targeting Kwankwaso. But what Ganduje seems to forget is that my leader, @elrufai , sacrificed so much to make Tinubu president, and yet, he still got betrayed. So Ganduje has made a big mistake, and I assure him Tinubu will give him nothing in the end. It will end 2:0, just like that.”
