The acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy National Chairman (North), Bukar Dalori, on Monday, assumed office.
According to a post shared on APC’s official X handle, Dalori presided over the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) meeting at the party’s secretariat in Abuja.
Dalori was last week appointed as the interim national leader of the ruling party following the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje over health concern.
Ganduje’s resignation was announced after he had led the National Working Committee to Niger State on a condolence visit to the Niger State Governor,Mohammed Umaru Bago at the state’s liaison office in Abuja, over the devastating Mokwa flood and bandit attacks in Mariga LGA on the state.
In his stead, Dalori, who hails from Maiduguri, Borno State, was appointed as the new National Chairman in acting capacity.
He is expected to steer the party’s affairs pending the election of a substantive chairman at the upcoming national convention.
