A former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje has gotten a new appointment from the government of President Bola Tinubu.
This is coming just weeks after he resigned as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He has now been appointed as the Chairman of the Board of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).
The announcement was made on Wednesday during the formal inauguration of newly appointed FAAN board members in Abuja.
It would be recalled that Ganduje had, about two weeks ago, stepped down from his role as the APC National Chairman, citing health reasons.
His resignation came amid strong speculations that President Bola Tinubu is working behind the scenes to bring Ganduje’s longtime rival, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, into the APC fold ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Meanwhile, veteran politician and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) chieftain, Buba Galadima has dismissed claims that the party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Rabiu Kwankwaso, will defect to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking during an appearance on Arise News, Galadima said that the former Kano Governor remains deeply rooted in the opposition and is only being courted because of his unmatched credibility.
He denied reports claiming that the former national chairman of the ruling party, Abdullahi Ganduje, was removed from his position because there were plans to bring in Kwankwaso.
Galadima explained that the APC and other parties have been trying to woo Kwankwaso, but the politician has remained steadfast in his commitment to the NNPP.
