The North Central All Progressives Congress (APC) Forum has put a pause on its demand for the ousting of Abdullahi Ganduje as the party’s National Chairman in light of the upcoming National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting. Previously, the forum had strongly opposed Ganduje’s appointment, claiming that the chairmanship should belong to the North Central region as outlined in the party’s amended constitution of 2022.
In the past, the forum resorted to protests, press conferences, and legal actions against Ganduje to challenge his position. However, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, the chairman of the North Central APC Forum, stated in a recent announcement that their opposition was not personal against Ganduje.
Zazzaga highlighted the forum’s commitment to peace and reconciliation, emphasizing the importance of the party’s unity as it prepares for the NEC meeting. He reflected on the forum’s seven-year history of advocating for the North Central region and reiterated their belief in fairness and equity within the party.
The forum has collectively decided to suspend its agitation until after the NEC meeting, acknowledging that the committee has the authority to make crucial decisions regarding party leadership and positions. They aim to ensure the North Central region receives fair representation and benefits during upcoming negotiations, particularly in light of the 2027 general elections.
