National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has declared that there is no vacancy in the presidential seat of power come 2027 general election.
The former Kano state governor specifically taunted the leadership of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and its chieftains in Kano state, accusing of sponsoring protest and campaign for his removal as the National Chairman of the APC.
Addressing a crowd of supporters and some support groups who came in solidarity visit to him at the APC national secretariat in Abuja, Dr. Ganduje said the NNPP and its chieftains were afraid having been defeated across the country in the last general election and already foreseeing another defeat hence the propaganda against the leadership of the APC.
Ganduje said: “They are so afraid because we are consolidating. They are so afraid all over the country because we are receiving new entrants into our party. That is creating fears in their minds. They are already eyeing 2027, but that time, there is no vacancy. Only our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will, Insh-Allah, continue with the as President of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
While urging APC supporters to ignore what he described as Africa magic drama, Ganduje said: “So, we urge you to be committed to our party so that our party will continue to forge ahead.
“We have had your commitment and speeches, and we understand your mission. The whole drama, political rascality, started from Kano with the government. Instead of responding to the yearnings, needs, and demands of the people of Kano state, they decided to divert attention.
“Our eyes are on those who are diverting our attention to political propaganda against the APC. Can we allow them to continue like that? We understand what they are doing. It is a political drama.
“What they are doing is African magic drama in order to convey a failed program and projects by failed politicians. We will not allow them to continue with that. They are also sponsoring pockets of diffident protest from all over the country. They are spending a huge amount of money in order for people to demonstrate against the leadership of our party. It is a complete failure from what we have seen all over the country.
“Now, you should know that they are sponsored by the Kano State Government. And they are a small party. They are a micro party. They are a party that is terribly defeated all over the country. It is a party that is breaking down. It is a party that is a mixture of failed politicians. If you follow what is happening in that party, you will find out that it is a party that is sharply divided between those who are authentic members of the party and those who are fake members of the party individualistic and so arrogant in the management of the political party.”
