Abdullahi Ganduje Asserts Leadership Dominance Amid Speculations of Kwankwaso’s APC Joining
The national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has reinforced his leadership stance within the party, specifically addressing the potential entry of Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso. In a widely circulated audio clip, Ganduje made it clear that upon joining the APC, Kwankwaso would assume a subordinate role, emphasizing the hierarchical structure of the party.
Ganduje, while addressing a sizable gathering of APC supporters in Kano, reiterated his national leadership role, stating, “If you defect to APC today, you are our subordinate and follower. It is important for you to note this; a child of the household and a stranger are all under the care of the head of the house.”

The APC chairman continued to interact with party stakeholders and supporters during his stay in Kano, extending invitations to key figures, including Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf. However, the governor declined the offer, citing a lack of a formal communication channel.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Kwankwasiyya movement, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso, who is informally known as Jagora among his followers, is currently associated with the NNPP. The ongoing feud between Ganduje and Kwankwaso has sparked speculations about Kwankwaso’s potential shift to the APC.
In an intriguing turn of events, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) has been predicted to face challenges leading up to the 2027 general elections. Bashir Ahmad, a former media aide to ex-president Muhammadu Buhari, suggested that a reconciliation between Kwankwaso and Ganduje could be a determining factor in the PDP’s fate.
