The rumour gained momentum following the sudden resignation of APC National Chairman Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, fuelling suspicions of a strategic northern power shift ahead of the 2027 elections and possible realignments within the ruling party.

The political buzz has stirred intense reactions nationwide, especially among APC loyalists and Kano State stakeholders. 

While the Presidency has not confirmed the alleged plan, the timing of Ganduje’s resignation has only added fuel to the conversation. 

Analysts suggest that such a bold move, if true, could reshape the party’s internal balance, intensify intra-northern rivalries, and test the unity of Tinubu’s Renewed Hope coalition.
