Breaking News: Ali Bukar Dalori Takes Helm as APC Acting National Chairman
In a significant development, President Bola Tinubu has directed Ali Bukar Dalori to assume the role of Acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje. This move puts to rest the speculation surrounding Ganduje’s possible resignation, which had created a cloud of confusion within the party.
According to APC’s spokesman, Felix Morka, Dalori will hold the position until the party’s National Executive Committee meets to fill the vacancy created by Ganduje’s resignation. Morka quoted the President as saying, "The Deputy National Chairman (North), Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, has been directed to assume the position of Acting National Chairman, pending the meeting of the National Executive Committee of the Party to be summoned immediately."
Ganduje had tendered his resignation letter to the national Working Committee (NWC) through the party’s National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru. While initial reports suggested that Ganduje’s resignation was due to health reasons, it is now believed that his decision was influenced by political calculations aimed at paving the way for Tinubu’s reelection in 2027. Sources close to the party have dismissed the health grounds claim, suggesting that Ganduje stepped down to make way for the possible return of a top Northern politician.
The development is seen as a strategic move by the APC to reposition itself ahead of the 2027 elections. With Dalori at the helm, the party is expected to undergo significant changes in the coming weeks. As the APC prepares for its National Executive Committee meeting, all eyes are on the party’s next move, which could have far-reaching implications for Nigerian politics.
In conclusion, the appointment of Ali Bukar Dalori as the APC’s Acting National Chairman marks a new chapter for the party. As the political landscape in Nigeria continues to evolve, one thing is certain – the APC is gearing up for a fierce battle in the 2027 elections. With President Tinubu’s reelection bid on the horizon, the party’s strategy will be closely watched by political analysts and enthusiasts alike.
