I’ve No Plan to Run Against Tinubu, I’m Loyal – Ganduje
The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Umar Ganduje has denied an insinuation that he has a presidential ambition to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the next general elections. He said that his opponents in Kano State are behind the posters.
Ganduje has persistently been in the eye of the storm. He has a corruption case in Kano State and at the same time the chieftains of the party in north center are asking to take back the seat of the national chairman. Abdullahi Adamu from Nassarawa State didn’t complete his tenure.
Mr. Ganduje denied the bid through his Chief Press Secretary Edwin Olofu in a statement dated 18 August. Ganduje said that he was not planning to run with the Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma.
Debunking the poster, Olofu said: “This is to inform the general public that the poster currently circulating on social media, claiming that the APC national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, is contesting for the presidency in 2027 with Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, as his running mate, is entirely false and a malicious piece of fake news.
“The All Progressives Congress (APC) wishes to categorically state that this is the work of mischief-makers, likely in collaboration with certain elements within the Kwankwassiyya movement, who are determined to create disaffection between Dr. Ganduje and His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“For the avoidance of doubt, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje remains unwaveringly loyal to President Tinubu and is fully committed to supporting the President’s vision and leadership. Dr. Ganduje believes that President Tinubu is on the right trajectory to steer Nigeria towards greater prosperity and unity.”
