The national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has declared that there will be no vacancy in Aso Rock in 2027.
While addressing supporters at the national secretariat of the party on Monday in Abuja, Ganduje said the leadership of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) and its chieftains were afraid, having been defeated across the country in the last general election and already foreseeing another defeat, hence the propaganda against the leadership of the APC.
The chairman taunted the leadership of NNPP and its chieftains in Kano State, accusing them of sponsoring protests and campaigning for his removal as the national chairman of APC.
His words: “They are so afraid because we are consolidating. They are so afraid all over the country because we are receiving new entrants into our party, and that is creating fear in their minds.
