Speaking on why the North-Central is insistent on reclaiming the position of APC National Chairman, Zazzaga noted that Ganduje does not deserve to preside over the ruling party because he could not deliver Kano during the 2023 elections.
He told Nigerian Tribune: “How did Ganduje contribute to the success of the party in the 2023 elections? How? We all played our individual and collective roles in the success of the party, which cannot be attributed to any particular person.
“Come to talk of Ganduje, we are not supposed to talk to him in any way. All we are fighting for is what rightfully should belong to the North-Central.
“But we all know that Ganduje, as a former governor, could not deliver his state for the APC. So with that alone, it is clear that his contribution to the success of the party in 2023 is just some people holding on to illusion. It is needless for us to begin to mention the allegations against him.
“Besides, there are issues of rejection even from his ward in Kano State, apart from some of the legal liabilities being incurred for the party. And let me tell you this: there are so many misfortunes befalling the party already.
He added that the group’s quest is to boost membership in APC and poach eminent personalities and strong forces from other parties, not only in the North-Central but in the northern region and the country.
“We understood that many people wanted to defect to the APC from other parties but were prevented from doing so due to the policy and leadership style of Ganduje.
“Some of them have confided in us outright that they will not be coming to the party under the leadership of Ganduje, who has no regard for them or any quality policy that will advance the party,” he added.
