Ganduje’s Resignation Saved Him From Disgrace – APC Chieftain
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Kano, Alhaji Alhassan Yaryasa, has said that Abdullahi Ganduje’s resignation as the party’s National Chairman was a wise and timely move that saved him from disgrace.
Speaking in a phone interview with The Punch on Sunday, Yaryasa claimed that Ganduje would have been removed if he had not resigned voluntarily.
He alleged that there were covert plans to force Ganduje out of office for refusing to align with the wishes of the Presidency.
“We knew there was a plan to bring Senator Rabi’u Kwankwaso into the APC and possibly make him President Bola Tinubu’s running mate in 2027.
“Whatever the case may be, the decision taken by Ganduje to resign is the best option for him before they disgrace him out of office,” Yaryasa said.
Yaryasa, a former Coordinator of the Tinubu Campaign Organisation in Kano South, said Ganduje deserved commendation for strengthening the APC at both state and national levels.
“Don’t forget Ganduje was able to bring key politicians from other parties into the APC, such as senators and Reps members who recently defected from other parties and joined the APC.
“So, it’s better for him to leave the position honourably before they force him to resign and disgrace him,” he added.
On the question of which zone should produce the next National Chairman, Yaryasa urged the APC to follow due process to ensure equity and fairness.
“Whichever zone is supposed to produce the National Chairman of the party should be given the chance to do so. This is necessary in order to ensure fairness,” he said.
