It was also gathered that the latest move was a plot by some elements within the party from the North Central zone to regain the office of the national chairman, which was lost to North West, where Ganduje hails from.
A source in the party who spoke in confidence said: “Bello’s move is an attempt to bring back the chairmanship seat to the region, and it is believed he has the backing of several stakeholders in the North-central.”
Recall that the present national chairman of the APC Abdullahi Umar Ganduje was elected at the August 3, 2023, National Executive Committee (NEC) to replace Abdullahi Adamu, who resigned from office.
