Following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ali Bukar Dalori has officially assumed the role of acting national chairman.
Addressing the party’s National Working Committee on Monday, Dalori expressed gratitude for the opportunity, describing his new role as one he undertakes with “humility, responsibility, and loyalty.” He stated that his emergence followed Ganduje’s decision to step down and was backed by President Bola Tinubu.
Dalori paid tribute to Ganduje’s leadership, highlighting his efforts since taking over the position in August 2023. “Since his assumption of office, he provided our party with experienced leadership, steadfast commitment, and a clear sense of direction,” he said, while wishing the former chairman a full recovery.
The acting chairman emphasized his commitment to leading the APC with “transparency, inclusiveness, and unity of purpose,” noting that his appointment should be seen as a call to service, not personal victory. “This is a period for consolidation—not conflict. For maturity—not division. And for vision—not personal ambition,” he added.
Dalori also underscored the need for the party to strengthen its internal systems and rebuild its relationship with the grassroots ahead of the 2027 general elections. Reaffirming his loyalty to President Tinubu, he pledged the party’s continued support for the administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, which he said provides a roadmap to tackling the nation’s economic, security, and unity challenges.
