April 3, (THEWILL)- The National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has told those jostling to replace President Bola Tinubu in Aso Rock that there is no vacancy in the presidential seat of power in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking on Monday while addressing supporters who paid him a solidarity visit at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, Ganduje particularly taunted the leadership of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and its chieftains in Kano State whom he accused of sponsoring protest and campaign for his removal as National Chairman of the APC.
Ganduje said the NNPP and its chieftains have embarked on propaganda against the leadership of the APC after they were defeated across the country in the last general election.
“They are so afraid because we are consolidating. They are so afraid all over the country because we are receiving new entrants into our party. That is creating fear in their minds. They are already eyeing 2027, but by that time, there is no vacancy. Only our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will, Insh-Allah, continue as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
“So, we urge you to be committed to our party so that our party will continue to forge ahead. We have heard your commitment and speeches, and we understand your mission. The whole drama and political rascality started in Kano with the government. Instead of responding to the yearnings, needs, and demands of the people of Kano State, they decided to divert attention,” he said.
“We are here to tell the whole world that the APC is one united family, devoid of rancour as being erroneously portrayed and speculated by few individuals under the obvious sponsorship of the New Nigeria Peoples Party-led Kano State Government,” Convener of the solidarity walk, Prof. Salihu Alizaga, said.
