Following the outcome of the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday, the North-Central APC Forum has announced that it has ended all agitations over leadership positions in the party.
Reecall that the NEC meeting, which held at the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Wednesday, ratified the zoning of chairmanship of the party to the North-West.
Before the development, the position had been zoned to the North-Central but Abdullahi Ganduje, from Kano State in the North-West, was appointed the APC national chairman after Abdullahi Adamu, ex-governor of Nasarawa State, was forced to resign 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.
Reacting to the outcome of the NEC meeting in a statement on Thursday by its Chairman, Alhaji Saleh Zazzaga, the forum said it has decided to drop all agitations and align with the position of the NEC.
“As loyal party members interested in the progress of the APC, we agree with all the decisions taken at the NEC meeting. We endorse the vote of confidence passed on President Bola Tinubu and the national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje.
“The NEC is the second highest decision-making organ of the party and the NEC has passed a vote of confidence on the national chairman.
“We respect the decision of Mr President and the NEC. As a result of that, we have decided to stop all agitations concerning the leadership and other issues in the APC.
“We are urging all members of the party to support President Bola Tinubu and the national chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje. We also seek the support of all North-Central stakeholders for the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator George Akume as the leader of the party in the zone.”
