Ganduje Remains National Chairman – APC Warns Yahaya Bello
By Kabir Akintayo
The national leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that there is no vacancy in the office of the party’s national chairman, hence anyone aspiring for it was only stirring a hornet’s nest.
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, made the declaration while reacting to the campaign posters of the immediate-past governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, which indicated he was contesting for the party’s national chairmanship position.

Bello’s posters surfaced in Abuja on Monday in some locations, including the national secretariat of the APC with the inscription, “APC Next Level. Alhaji Yahaya Bello as APC National Chairman. Leading the Change, Building a Stronger APC.”
But, briefing journalists at end of the 141st meeting of the APC National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja on Tuesday, Morka said: “There is no vacancy in the office of the national chairman of the party. Our National Chairman, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, is our chairman and he is operating as the chairman.
“So, there is no vacancy in that office. And yes, we have also seen some of those posters. This is democracy. People do what they want. But the office of the National chairman is properly and fully occupied.
“We have absolute and total confidence in his leadership of the party. Nobody is asking for that office to be declared vacant and it is not vacant. I will want to warn those who are throwing this papers around to desist from doing that.” Morka said.
