Following the National Executive Committee, NEC, meeting of the All Progressives Congress, the North-Central APC Forum has announced that it has ended all agitations over leadership positions in the party.
It will be recalled that the NEC, meeting, which held at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday February 26, ratified the zoning of chairmanship of the party to the North-West. No
Before the development, the position had been zones to the North-Central but Abdullahi Ganduje, from Kano State in the North-West, was appointed the APC national chairman after Abdullahi Adamu, former governor of Nasarawa State, was removed without completing his tenure.
The North-Central APC Forum, which agitated for the zone to be given the opportunity to complete Adamu’s tenure, had gone to court to seek Ganduje’s removal as National Chairman.
However, the APC Forum, on October 16, 2024, suspended the demand for Ganduje’s removal, pending the decision of the party’s NEC.
With the ratification of the zoning of the National Chairmanship to the North-West, Ganduje’s position has been validated by the NEC.
