The All Progressives Congress (APC) is set for a leadership shake-up as Bukar Dalori, the Deputy National Chairman (North), is expected to step in as acting National Chairman following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje.
Ganduje reportedly stepped down from the party’s top position on Friday, though the exact reasons for his resignation have not been officially disclosed. Some sources suggest it could be related to health concerns.
APC stalwart Ayekooto Akindele revealed via social media that Dalori will assume the role in an interim capacity. His statement aligns with earlier remarks from Bashir Ahmad, a former aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, who said one of the party’s national vice chairmen would temporarily fill the role until a new chairman is elected.
The APC’s national convention, where a permanent chairman is expected to be chosen, is scheduled for December 2025. Until then, Dalori is likely to oversee party affairs in an acting capacity.
