Why is APC plotting to remove Ganduje?

According to the report, the plot to remove Ganduje was motivated by mounting pressure on the president and several accusations against him, including the fraud suits filed against him by the Kano state government.

But Barrister Fetus Fuanter, the APC deputy national secretary, dismissed the claim of Ganduje's removal plot, adding that the party is not aware of any ambassadorial appointments for the former Kano governor.

Fuanter made the clarification after the meeting of the APC's National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja on Thursday, August 15.

When will APC hold the NEC meeting?

The barrister also announced that the APC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting will be held on September 12. It will be the first since Ganduje became national chairman on August 3, 2023. The NEC is the party's second-highest decision-making body after the national convention.

According to Fuanter, the APC national caucus will meet on September 11, a day before the convention, to address several issues, particularly the APC crisis in Rivers state.

Regarding the crisis in the Rivers State chapter, the APC recognizes Chief Tony Okocha's leadership, aligned with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. The party dismissed a recent court ruling against Okocha's leadership as an "abuse of court processes," indicating their support for his position.
