When rumours broke that Abdullahi Ganduje was preparing to dump the All Progressives Congress for the African Democratic Congress, the political space buzzed. But the former party chairman has now debunked it as fake news.
His denial is not just about loyalty to President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda. It is about the fragility of party politics in Nigeria. The APC, like the PDP before it, is struggling to keep its house in order. Resignations, suspicions, and whispers of defection are constant reminders of a shaky foundation.
Ganduje may have clarified his stance, but the rumours alone highlight something deeper: Nigerians no longer trust politicians to stay true to their parties. In the end, loyalty in Nigerian politics is not to ideology or manifesto—it is often to survival and relevance.
For APC, this is a warning. A ruling party cannot afford to look like a ship with cracks.
