Ganduje’s appointment to FAAN’s board comes weeks after he stepped down from his role as APC National Chairman.

According to Felix Morka, the APC spokesman, Ganduje’s resignation was due to “personal reasons,” offered to allow him to “attend to urgent and important personal matters.”

In his resignation letter, addressed to the National Working Committee (NWC) through National Secretary Ajibola Basiru, Ganduje expressed gratitude to President Tinubu for the opportunity to serve the party at its highest level.

Following his resignation, the APC appointed Ali Dalori as its interim leader, pending a National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting to fill the vacancy.

Ganduje, who previously served as the governor of Kano State from 2015 to 2023, had assumed the APC chairmanship in August 2023.
