The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Chairman (North) Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori has taken over as the Acting National Chairman, pending the meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party in December, 2025. 

This followed the resignation of Dr Abdullahi Ganduje from his exalted position as the party’s National Chairman on Friday. 

The former two-term Kano State governor appreciated President Bola Tinubu for the opportunity to serve APC at the highest level.
Ganduje assumed the leadership of the APC in August 2023, following the resignation of his predecessor, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.

But in a letter on Friday night, the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka said that Ganduje's resignation was to enable him attend to urgent and important personal matters. The resignation takes effect immediately. 

The statement reads: "The All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to announce the resignation of Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, (CON), as the National Chairman of our great Party. His resignation, which is effective immediately, was offered to enable him attend to urgent and important personal matters. 

"In his letter of resignation addressed to the National Working Committee (NWC) through the National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, Dr. Ganduje expressed gratitude to the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, His Excellency, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for the opportunity to serve the Party at the highest level. 

"The President has directed the Deputy National Chairman (North), Hon. Ali Bukar Dalori, to assume the position of Acting National Chairman, pending the meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Party to be summoned immediately to fill the vacancy created by the resignation.

"Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, CON, assumed leadership of our great Party in August 2023, following the resignation of his predecessor, Senator Abdullahi Adamu. 

"Throughout his tenure, he dedicated himself to strengthening Party unity and cohesion, expounding its democratic ideals, and enhancing the Party’s  electoral competitiveness. The confidence placed in him by the Party’s NEC and National Caucus meetings in February 2025 was a profound recognition and honour for his service.  

"He leaves his position as National Chairman with great pride in our collective achievements, including successful defections from opposition parties and legal affirmations of our Party leadership’s legitimacy.

"We assure all Party faithful that we  remain steadfast and unwavering in our mission to deliver transformative governance for all Nigerians, in line with President Tinubu’s renewed Hope Agenda. 

"The National Working Committee (NWC) extends its gratitude to Dr. Ganduje for his invaluable contributions and distinguished record of service to our great Party.  

"We pray for his good health, and success in his future endeavours in service of the nation and humanity."
