The APC Forum has urged President Tinubu and prominent members of the ruling party to permit the region to select the next National Chairman, in light of Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje’s resignation on Friday.
In a statement made on Saturday in Abuja, Saleh Zazzaga, the Chairman of the Forum and a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council for the 2023 general election, expressed that the party now has a chance to amend what has been referred to as a long-standing injustice towards the North-Central zone.
The statement reads: “We had consistently maintained that the position of National Chairman should remain in the North-Central to complete the tenure of Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
“We even went to court to pursue this demand. However, when the National Executive Committee (NEC) ratified Ganduje’s appointment, we chose to suspend the agitation for the sake of the party’s stability.
“The resignation has presented a golden opportunity for the party to do the right thing, for fairness, justice, and equity. The North-Central played a critical role in the 2023 elections and deserves to be recognized accordingly.
“This is not just a demand based on sentiment. The North-Central has capable hands that can lead the APC to greater electoral victories. Returning the chairmanship to the zone will consolidate the party’s progress and stability.”
