Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ali Bukar Dalori has assumed the role of the All Progressives Congress, APC, acting National Chairman, following a directive by President Bola Tinubu.<\/p>\n

Tinubu gave the order following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje from his position as APC\u2019s National Chairman.<\/p>\n

Ganduje had tendered his resignation letter to the national Working Committee, NWC, through the party\u2019s National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru.<\/p>\n

APC\u2019s confirmation puts to rest the cloud of confusion surrounding Ganduje\u2019s possible resignation.<\/p>\n

However, APC\u2019s spokesman, Felix Morka said Dalori will be the acting National Chairman until the party\u2019s National Executive Committee meet.<\/p>\n

Morka said: \u201cThe President has directed the Deputy National Chairman (North), Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, to assume the position of Acting National Chairman, pending the meeting of the National Executive Committee of the Party to be summoned immediately to fill the vacancy created by the resignation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reports had connected Ganduje\u2019s sudden resignation to political calculations that would pave the way for Tinubu\u2019s reelection in 2027.<\/p>\n

Initial claims that Ganduje resigned due to health grounds was dismissed, noting that he gave way to allow for the possible return of a top Northern politician.<\/p>\n
