There are strong indications on Wednesday evening, July 19, which noted that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is looking towards a former Kano state Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje for the chairmanship of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This will be as a replacement for the erstwhile national chairman of the ruling APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, Vanguard reported.

Consequently, the report further noted that Ganduje’s name has been dropped from Tinubu’s list of ministerial nominees.

In a move many see as courting the support of stakeholders, the National Working Committee (NWC) of APC met with members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) today, Wednesday.

This was coming barely 48 hours after Senator Abubakar Kyari and Festus Fuanter took over as acting national chairman and acting secretary of the party, respectively.

The new leadership was also pushing for a meeting with Tinubu. It was expected that the outcome of today’s talks will set the tone for a meeting with Tinubu.

Therefore, the Ganduje angle could be an outcome of today’s meeting that will precede the one with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
