Obi Commends Ganduje’s Resignation as APC Chairman



The Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, has praised Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje for stepping down as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ganduje, a former governor of Kano State, tendered his resignation to the APC’s National Working Committee (NWC) through the party’s National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Bashiru, citing health concerns.

Reacting in a post on his official X handle on Friday, Obi lauded Ganduje for putting his health first.

"I must commend Dr. Ganduje for prioritising his health above all else," Obi stated. "Given the reported decline in his health, stepping down was both a wise and honourable decision, especially if he feels unable to continue providing the level of service required by the party, the people, and the country."

Obi described the resignation as a powerful example to other leaders who, despite health challenges, remain in office at the expense of effective governance.

"I hope others facing similar conditions will draw inspiration from this and do what is right," he added.

The former Anambra State governor emphasised the need for leaders who are physically and mentally capable of handling the nation’s urgent demands.

"At this critical time in our country, we cannot continue with leadership hindered by medical tourism, prolonged absences, or age-related health issues. These are slowing our development," he said.

Obi concluded by wishing Ganduje a peaceful and fulfilling retirement.

Labour Party Lawmakers as an Appendage to APC Majority Lawmakers: A Huge Question Mark on Peter Obi’s Leadership

  The Labour Party (LP) made an unprecedented impact in the 2023 general elections, largely due to the influence of Mr Peter Obi and the Obidient movement. Before then, it was almost unthinkable for a third-force party to achieve significant electoral success in Nigeria. However, against all odds, the LP secured eight senatorial seats and 34 seats in the House of Representatives as of March 7, 2023. Among those elected were individuals from humble backgrounds, including a former commercial motorcyclist and a motor park loading agent, further reinforcing the movement’s appeal to ordinary Nigerians. Labour Party’s Crisis and the Loss of Legislative Influence To the disappointment of many supporters, the Labour Party is currently experiencing severe internal disarray. At least one senator and five members of the House of Representatives have defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Even more concerning is that the remaining LP lawmakers in the National Assembly appear ...

Chief Priest’s First-Ever Stage Performance: A Night of Emotions, Gratitude & Celebration in Owerri Owerri, the heart of Eastern Nigeria, witnessed a night of history, emotions, and gratitude as celebrity businessman and socialite, Cubana Chief Priest , took the stage for his first-ever live performance —and it happened on his own birthday. The event, which was packed with fans, celebrities, and well-wishers, was more than just a celebration of another year; it was a heartfelt tribute to his roots, his supporters, and a dear friend he lost. A Moment of Silence for Ifeanyi Ubah Before the music, before the cheers, before the energy hit the roof, Chief Priest paused the night with an emotional tribute. The entire venue fell silent as he led a minute of silence for his late friend, Ifeanyi Ubah . The bond they shared was well known, and this moment was a reflection of how much he still carried the weight of the loss. Owerri: The City of His Beginnings As the night moved forward,...

By Ogbu A.M. The traffic buzzed outside their Lekki apartment as Emeka sat quietly in the living room, his eyes fixed on his phone, though his mind was miles away. Lagos had a way of wearing people out—but nothing had worn him down like what he’d just learned. His best friend, Charles, had dropped the bomb casually while they shared beers at a bar in Victoria Island. "Guy, I no dey try cause wahala, but I think say you suppose know wetin your wife dey do. Ngozi talk say Chioma dey knack her oga for office. That Ndubisi guy." It had hit Emeka like a slap. For days, he pretended he hadn’t heard it. But now, as he watched Chioma humming in the kitchen, moving gracefully like nothing was wrong, he knew Charles wasn’t lying. Her phone was always face-down. Late meetings. A new perfume. The soft smile she had when she texted someone she wouldn’t name. And then there was Ngozi—Chioma’s younger sister. She had moved in temporarily while job-hunting, according to Chioma. Young, v...
