APC appoints Dalori as acting national chairman after Ganduje’s resignation
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed Ali Dalori as its acting national chairman following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje.
In a statement issued on Friday evening, Felix Morka, APC’s national publicity secretary, confirmed Ganduje’s resignation and said that Dalori, the national vice-chairman (north), has been directed to take over immediately and act until December when the national executive committee (NEC) meeting will be held.
On Friday, Ganduje announced his resignation from the party on the grounds that he needed to attend to his wellbeing.
The two-term former governor Kano assumed the leadership of APC in August 2023, following the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu.
The APC spokesperson praised Ganduje for dedicating himself to strengthening the party and its cohesion
“Throughout his tenure, he dedicated himself to strengthening the party’s unity and cohesion, expounding its democratic ideals and enhancing the party’s electoral competitiveness,” the statement reads.
“The confidence placed in him by the party’s NEC and national caucus meetings in February 2025 was a profound recognition and honour for his service.
“He leaves his position as national chairman with great pride in our collective achievements, including successful defections from opposition parties and legal affirmations of our party leadership’s legitimacy.”
He assured APC members that the party remains steadfast and unwavering in its mission to deliver transformative governance for all Nigerians, in line with President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.
