Nigeria’s political landscape was thrown into confusion on Thursday following reports that Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has tendered his resignation. Though the party has yet to release an official statement, a senior APC official confirmed the development, sparking a wave of speculation across the political scene.
The exact reasons for Ganduje’s sudden exit remain shrouded in mystery. However, multiple sources have verified that his personal belongings were quietly removed from his office at the APC national secretariat in Abuja days earlier, fueling rumors of internal power struggles and strategic maneuvering within the party’s top hierarchy.

With this unexpected resignation, attention is now shifting to potential successors and the deeper implications this could have on the unity and direction of the APC. Political analysts are already suggesting that the move could be linked to internal rifts, pressure from party stakeholders, or looming investigations.
As Nigerians await an official response from the APC, Ganduje’s departure leaves a vacuum at the helm of the ruling party at a crucial time in national politics. The days ahead are likely to reveal more about the real story behind his resignation and what it means for the future of the APC.
