2027: No Vacancy In Aso Rock, Ganduje Taunts NNPP, Others

National chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has declared that there is no vacancy in Presidential Villa, Aso Rock, Abuja in the 2027 general elections.

Ganduje particularly taunted the leadership of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and its chieftains in Kano State whom he accused of sponsoring protest and campaign for his removal as the APC National Chairman of the APC.

The former Kano State governor stated this in his address to a crowd of supporters and some support groups who came in solidarity visit to him at the APC national secretariat in Abuja on Monday.

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.

He 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 at that time, there is no vacancy. Only our President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will, Insh-Allah, continue 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.”

Speaking earlier, the Convener of the solidarity walk, Prof. Salihu Alizaga, said loyal party men and women in thousands have converged to show solidarity with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the National Chairman of APC.

Prof. Alizaga said: “We are here to tell the whole World that, APC is one united family, devoid of rancor as being erroneously portrayed and speculated by few individuals under the obvious sponsorship of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP led Kano State Government.
