    APC chair: Ganduje resigned in good faith– Akpodoro

    Following the resignation of Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje as National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mayor of Urhoboland and prominent industrialist, Eshanekpe Israel, popularly known as Akpodoro, has expressed admiration for the former party leader, describing him as an embodiment of dedicated service to both the APC and the nation.

    Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting on Monday in Abuja, Mayor Akpodoro commended Ganduje for his leadership during one of the party’s most turbulent periods. He noted that Ganduje took the reins when the APC was facing internal challenges and, through determination and discipline, stabilized the party.

    Addressing speculations surrounding the resignation, Akpodoro urged critics to respect Ganduje’s decision, saying it was made in good faith.

    “As an elder statesman, he has earned the right to step down with dignity and allow new leadership to bring in fresh ideas. This shouldn’t be twisted by conspiracy theorists or opposition voices trying to sow discord within the party,” he said.

    He emphasized that even in retirement, Ganduje remains a vital figure within the APC and a source of strength for the party. Akpodoro warned opposition figures against exploiting the situation to create false narratives, urging them to focus on constructive solutions rather than misinformation.

    “If a party chairman steps down peacefully, why all the unfounded theories?” Akpodoro queried. “Ganduje cited health reasons—a legitimate concern. We must learn to respect that and not pretend to know more about his wellbeing than he does. The constant spread of fake news does nothing to move the nation forward.”
