Ganduje Lampoons PDP, Says Party Is Dead, Buried Politics By Editor  Abdullahi Ganduje, who is the national chairman of Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), says that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is close to falling apart. He made this statement after a former governor, Sule Lamido, said that the APC would soon break up and that some of its members, including Ganduje, would return to the PDP. Ganduje strongly disagreed. He said those comments made by Lamido were not true and didn’t make sense. He also said he has no reason to leave the APC and go back to a party he believes is “failing.” He added, “In fact, we will soon welcome Sule Lamido into the APC because the PDP is almost gone.” According to Ganduje, too many problems inside the PDP will cause it to collapse before 2025 ends. He said the APC is getting stronger under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and that many important politicians are leaving their parties to join the APC. He believes...
