Yahaya begins move to displace Ganduje as APC chairman
The immediate past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has launched moves to displace the incumbent national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Umar Ganduje, from office.
Campaign posters indicating his interest in the position started flooding the streets of Abuja on Monday, days after handing over to the newly elected Kogi governor, Usman Ododo.
The National Executive Council of the party had, in August 2023, confirmed the former Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje, as its national chairman at the NEC meeting held at Transcorp Hilton in Abuja, replacing former Nasarawa governor, Abdullahi Adamu.
While Mr Ganduje had not spent up to a year out of the four-year tenure, it is unknown if the APC plans to conduct another election for positions in the party.
At the time of filing this report, Kingsley Fanwo, the commissioner for information under Mr Bello’s administration, has yet to respond to calls and messages by Peoples Gazette on the development.
