Dalori Leads First APC NWC Meeting After Ganduje Steps Down

Following the resignation of former Kano State Governor Abdullahi Ganduje as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Deputy Chairman (North), Ali Bukar Dalori, is presiding over his first National Working Committee (NWC) meeting as Acting National Chairman.

Dalori, alongside several members of the NWC, is currently holding the meeting at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.

The meeting, taking place on Monday, is expected to address recent developments in the party and establish an official stance.

In attendance at the ongoing session are National Secretary Ajibola Basiru, National Publicity Secretary Felix Morka, and other prominent party officials.

Acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ali Bukar Dalori, has urged party members and leaders to maintain unity in the wake of former Chairman Abdullahi Ganduje’s resignation.

While addressing the National Working Committee (NWC) during its first meeting since Ganduje stepped down, Dalori, on Monday in Abuja, encouraged members to refrain from any statements or actions that could lead to internal division.

“Political transitions often create uncertainty, but we must not allow it to breed disunity. We must avoid actions and words that divide us and focus on what binds us, our shared belief in the promise of Nigeria and the future of the APC,” Dalori stated.

He announced plans to soon unveil a comprehensive roadmap to steer the party through the interim period, focusing on party discipline, reconciliation efforts, effective communication, member mobilisation, and stakeholder involvement.

Dalori noted that his assumption of the role followed the party’s constitution and was in accordance with President Bola Tinubu’s directive.

He commended Ganduje’s leadership and extended wishes for his speedy recovery.

“We are all aware of the significant contributions Dr. Ganduje made during his tenure. Since his assumption of office in August 2023, he has provided our party with experienced leadership, steadfast commitment, and a clear sense of direction,” he said.

Dalori pledged to lead with transparency and unity.

He stated, “My appointment to this role is not a personal victory. It is a responsibility I embrace with full awareness of the challenges ahead and the expectations of millions of our members and supporters.

“This is a period for consolidation, not conflict. For maturity, not division. And for vision, not personal ambition.”

Dalori also reiterated his commitment to President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

“The APC remains the political vehicle to drive this transformation, and we will stand by the President in full loyalty and partnership,” he stated.

Earlier, the party’s National Secretary, Ajibola Basiru, officially submitted Ganduje’s resignation letter to the National Working Committee.

“On behalf of the party, I presented formally to the NWC the resignation letter of the former chairman, Dr. Umar Abdullahi Ganduje,” Basiru said, adding that Dalori’s appointment as acting chairman was unanimously approved, in line with Article 14 of the APC Constitution.
