North Central APC Forum Urges Unified Effort to Remove Ganduje as National Chairman
The North Central All Progressive Congress (APC) Forum has urged professional bodies from the region, including lawyers, civil society organizations, and journalists, to unite in efforts to remove APC National Chairman, Abdullahi Ganduje.
The forum’s Chairman, Alhaji Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, made this call while speaking to journalists in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
He noted that several votes of no confidence have already been passed against Ganduje from his Kano ward.
Zazzaga maintained that, “All we are doing is in the interest of the North Central region, and that is why we are calling for the professional bodies from the region to join hands with us.”
According to him, “We have pursued other good causes in other parties as well as those that are apolitical, which are for the betterment of the region, and not only APC causes alone.
“Therefore, anywhere we observe that the North Central region will be relegated to the background, short changed or cheated, we have always risen to its defence and advanced its causes.

The Forum further stated that the North Central’s tremendous support aidedbthe emergence of President Bola Tinubu and that the region has also delivered five governors for the APC out of the six states in the region.
“And so, as a ruling party which the region has helped in all ramifications, we cannot afford to fold our hands and let the position or other benefit accrued to the region to be highjacked or denied since there are many developmental things and benefits to be gotten or enjoyed from the ruling party”, he stressed.
