The National Vice Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Salihu Lukman, has rejected the ongoing moves to appoint the immediate past governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje, as the national chairman of the party.
President Bola Tinubu had reportedly tipped Mr Ganduje to replace Abdullahi Adamu, following his resignation on Monday.
But in a statement on Thursday, Mr Lukman, who was a major force that called for the resignation of Mr Adamu, described the move as insensitive and suicidal.
According to Mr Lukman, anointing Mr Ganduje will upset the zoning arrangement of the party.
He said: “Regrettably, however, many of the speculations do not share the commitment to either restore constitutional order in the party or return the party to its founding vision of returning to the path of progressive politics.
“In fact, if anything, some of the speculations, if true, will reduce to nonsense the decision to have a change of leadership, which means that no lessons have been learnt from all the circumstances of the last few years since the emergence of APC as a political party.
“Already, part of the speculation emerging from the Governor’s bloc is that Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje is being considered to succeed Senator Abdullahi Adamu. If this is true, it only suggests insensitivity and taking members of the party for granted. This is without prejudice to the person of Dr. Ganduje.
