‘Ganduje’s exit not just health-related’—Momodu links move to Tinubu’s 2027 ambition

• Last week Friday, Ganduje resigned from his position as APC National Chairman on health grounds.
• But his resignation has been linked to political manoeuvres in preparation for Tinubu’s second term.

Experienced media professional and senior figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, labeled Abdullahi Ganduje a martyr who endured suffering for Tinubu’s sake.

Momodu expressed this view through a Facebook update, cautioning Senate President Godswill Akpabio that loyalty may not secure permanent relevance in Tinubu’s sphere of influence.

Ganduje relinquished his leadership role in the APC last week Friday, citing medical reasons as justification for his decision to step down from the office.

Despite his health claim, political speculators associate his exit with calculated movements designed to strengthen President Tinubu’s re-election machinery for the 2027 presidential battle.

However, Momodu wrote: “I knew this day would soon come when katakata go burst for the ruling party APC… Many of our political pundits do not have a knowledge of contemporary history.

“How could anyone have thought Tinubu’s style would ever change after capturing Lagos State, unchallenged, for 26 years?

“The fate that has befallen Vice President Shettima today is nothing new. It befell several Deputy Governors in Lagos.

“Governor Ambode was the biggest casualty. Governor Sanwo-Olu merely escaped by the whiskers recently.

“But sooner rather than later, things we never anticipated will happen.

“On Abdullahi Ganduje, he’s a tragic hero who took bullets for TINUBU. But like it happens to all lackeys, his usefulness has expired. My friend Akpabio should beware.

“This current power is absolutely for Tinubu, and no one should fool himself. No one is indispensable, and everyone else is expendable whenever it becomes necessary.

“The PRINCE does not entertain competition. This is the season of MACHIAVELLI. More victims will fall on the battlefield. No one is sacred.

“GANDUJE is already being blamed for the woes of APC. One analyst even said he should have brought EL RUFAI back after he was humiliated and rejected by the National Assembly.

“But GANDUJE knew the real power that betrayed NASIRU and dared not meddle in the matter.”
