The All Progressives Congress says consultations are underway among key stakeholders to convene an emergency National Executive Committee meeting aimed at selecting a new national chairman following the resignation of Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje.

The party, however, clarified that no specific date has been fixed for either the NEC or National Caucus meetings.

The clarification was made by the APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, when he was featured as a guest on Sunday’s edition of Channels Television’s Politics Today.

Ganduje tendered his resignation on Friday, citing health-related concerns.

His exit comes amid mounting tension and internal wrangling within the ruling party.

In the interim, the APC Deputy National Chairman (North), Bukar Dalori, has assumed the position in an acting capacity.

Despite the uncertainty surrounding the next leadership, Morka stressed that the APC is not under any pressure to rush the selection process.

He said, “The NEC meeting of our party will be convened imminently. No date has been set yet.

“This is an extraordinary situation following the resignation of our national chairman, and we will take steps immediately to fill the vacancy.”

He added that consultations are already ongoing among critical party figures, and a date for the NEC meeting will be announced once consensus is reached.

“I believe that in the coming days, we will determine the date for the NEC meeting to happen.

“And we will proceed to convene that meeting and have the party invoke its constitutional procedures to replace our national chairman who has just resigned.

“But we are consulting. There are many stakeholders who are required to be present to convene.

“So, as we speak, that process has been triggered and consultation is ongoing. We hope that in the coming days, we will be at a point where we can identify a date that’s agreeable to those who need to be there to make it happen,” he noted.
