Deputy National Chairman (North) of the All Progressives Congress, Bukar Dalori, has assumed office as the acting National Chairman of the ruling party.

This came following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje on Friday, June 27.

Ganduje’s resignation, though not officially explained as of press time, reportedly took many by surprise.

A top party official confirmed, “Yes, it is true. He has resigned.”

Ganduje’s exit may be connected to internal political realignments, particularly with 2027 in view.

One source said his resignation may be linked to ongoing permutations around the vice-presidential slot, with increasing pressure to zone it to the North-West, Ganduje’s region.

“If the vice-presidential ticket is retained in the Northwest, the party chairmanship might have to shift elsewhere. Don’t forget, the APC had originally zoned the national chairmanship to the North-Central,” the source said.
