APC Group Alleges Plot To Unseat Tinubu In 2027 Behind Calls For Ganduje’s Removal

• Group claims recent calls for Ganduje’s resignation aimed at stopping Tinubu’s second term bid

• Accuses external forces of being behind the suspension of the APC national chairman

• Ganduje accuses Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf of sponsoring his purported suspension

Eko Hot Blog reports that a political group affiliated with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has asserted that the recent call for the resignation of the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje, was intended to stop President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from securing a second term in office.

The APC supporters who gathered at the party’s Secretariat in Abuja on Monday said those behind the protest against Ganduje were only interested in unseating Tinubu in the 2027 elections.

Allegations of External Forces

Led by former Commissioner of Lands and Urban Development, Prof Salihu Alizaga from Nasarawa State, the supporters claimed that external forces were responsible for the recent suspension of the party’s National Chairman.

During his address, Alizaga, who is also the Co-Convener of Concerned APC Members and Support Groups, stated, “We are here to tell the whole world that APC is one united family, devoid of rancour as being erroneously portrayed and speculated by few individuals in Kano State.”

“Gentlemen of the press, in the last few weeks, the media has been awash with the news of purported suspension, counter-suspension, and re-resuspension of the national chairman of our party by some individuals who are clearly non-members of the APC, capitalising, on the fickle agitations of a few disgruntled members of the APC who claimed to be from the North Central Zone,” he added.

Confidence in Tinubu and Ganduje

In addition, Alizaga further claimed, “We are confident that those who want the National Chairman removed are those who are interested in unseating President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027. We can not sacrifice competence on the altar of mediocrity.”

Consequently, the APC supporters voted confidence in President Tinubu and Ganduje “for their jobs well done. Our support for the two of you is one hundred per cent.”

Meanwhile, reacting, Ganduje commended the supporters for their solidarity and accused the Kano State Governor, Abba Yusuf, of sponsoring his purported suspension. Finally, “The New Nigeria Peoples Party was afraid of the APC because the party had started consolidating ahead of the 2027 election,” Ganduje stated.
