The acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Ali Dalori has called on all party members not to allow the transition period to breed disunity.
TheHintsNews reports that the former National Chairman of the party Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje last Friday resigned his position, citing health issues.
However, Dalori during his meeting with the members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party on Monday in Abuja said his appointment was not a personal victory.
He acknowledged the significant contributions Ganduje made during his tenure, adding that since his assumption of office in August 2023, he provided the party with experienced leadership, steadfast commitment, and a clear sense of direction.
Dalori noted that as someone who has served faithfully within this party and as a longstanding member of the NWC, he assured of his dedication to carrying out his role with transparency, inclusiveness, and unity of purpose.
He said they must keep their eyes on the bigger picture — delivering good governance to the Nigerian people, deepening democracy within our party structures, and preparing for the future with clarity and determination.
Dalori added: “This is a period for consolidation — not conflict. For maturity — not division. And for vision — not personal ambition.
“As we head toward 2027, we must begin now to strengthen our internal processes, reconnect with our grassroots, and re-energise our structures across all levels.
“To all party members and stakeholders, I urge us to stay united. Political transitions often create uncertainty, but we must not allow it to breed disunity. We must avoid actions and words that divide us and focus on what binds us — our shared belief in the promise of Nigeria and the future of the APC.”
The chairman stressed that in the days ahead, he would share with you a practical roadmap to guide their work during this interim period.
He said he would also cover key areas such as party discipline, reconciliation, communication, member mobilisation, and broader stakeholder engagement.
Also, the National Secretary of the party, Senator Suraj Ajibola presented Ganduje’s resignation letter before the NWC
He said: “The formal motion was moved for the acceptance of the resignation and it was ably seconded. And in line with Article 14 of our constitution, the motion was equally moved that the Deputy National Chairman of NWC, Hon.
Ali Bukar Dalori, assumed the office of the acting National Chairman pending the time that the office of National Chairman will be filled by the National Executive Committee of the party.”
