APC state chairmen pass vote of confidence on Ganduje

The Forum of All Progressives Congress State Chairmen on Tuesday passed a vote of confidence on the National Chairman of the party, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje.

The delegation of 37 state party chairmen gave the endorsement during a solidarity visit to the secretariat of the party in Abuja to pledge their allegiance to the embattled national chairman.

Addressing the gathering, the acting chairman of the forum and Lagos APC chairman, Cornelius Ojelabi, said they were solidly behind Ganduje and would defend him against external aggression.

“We are here to let you know that you remain the captain of the ship. After all, those who made the announcement were not even known to the party in the first place

“We will not allow you to be embarrassed like former chairmen of the party.

“What they wanted to do was a coup. But the coup has failed. We are here to show that we are solidly behind you anytime any day,” he said.

Also on the party’s X handle, APC writes:

VOTE OF CONFIDENCE

“National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje has received a confidence vote from the Party’s State Chairmen who were at the National Secretariat in Abuja to show their support & solidarity.

“We are here to let you know that you remain the captain of the ship.

Reacting, Ganduje said he remains focused on his job as the national chairman of APC, saying, “There is no doubt that democracy in developing countries has so many distractions, but we assure you that our party will not be distracted.”
