Just days after stepping down as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), former Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has landed a fresh federal appointment.
Ganduje has been named the Chairman of the Board of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). His appointment was officially announced during the inauguration of newly constituted FAAN board members in Abuja.
The former governor had resigned from his position as APC National Chairman last week, citing urgent personal reasons. His resignation followed mounting internal pressure and political realignments within the party. He has since been succeeded by Ali Bukar Dalori, a prominent figure from Borno State.
Ganduje’s appointment to FAAN is seen by some observers as a strategic move by the federal government to keep him within the corridors of influence, given his longstanding political experience and loyalty to the ruling party.
Details of his new role and responsibilities at FAAN are expected to emerge in the coming days.
