Former APC National Chairman and two-term Kano State governor Abdullahi Ganduje has staged his first major political outing since resigning from office three months ago, joining Kano APC stakeholders at a closed-door meeting in Abuja on Thursday.
The meeting focused on strengthening the party’s structure ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Key Attendees:
- Deputy Senate President Jibrin Barau
- Senator Kawu Sumaila
- Members of the House of Representatives
- Other Kano APC stakeholders
Voter Registration Push:
Ganduje urged party members to mobilise for the ongoing voter registration exercise.
“Let’s see how we can encourage our people to go and register. So far, we are doing very well, and we want to assure the people of Kano State that our members will register, so that during the election, we come out in large numbers and win,” he said.
Support For Tinubu:
Deputy Senate President Barau reiterated support for President Bola Tinubu.
“What the President is doing and what he has done for our nation, we are solely behind him,” he said, highlighting federal projects and educational institutions provided to Kano.
Kano APC leaders pledged to reclaim the state from the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), currently led by Governor Abba Yusuf.
Background:
- Ganduje resigned as APC National Chairman on June 27, 2025, citing “urgent and important personal matters.”
- He led the APC nationally from August 2023 to June 2025 and was appointed Chairman of the Board of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) in July 2025.
- Following his resignation, Ali Dalori briefly assumed leadership until Nentawe Yilwatda was elected substantive National Chairman on July 24.
