<p>The process of birth, death and rebirth, reincarnation, is what, in its political sense, according to some opinions, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), observed to certain extent. As the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held at the National Secretariat, Abuja, with Ganduje chairing the party from start to finish.</p>
<p>While according to the feeling of the advocates of this process, man passes through the three stages of human existence, Ganduje&#8217;s political experiment suggests that, man can exist on only two stages, not three. That is birth to rebirth. Because, even his recent political life, showcases him as a proverbial political cat with nine lives.</p>
<p>Genuine loyalty, the way I see it, is what plays significant role in the Ganduje&#8217;s lasting peace as National Chairman for another round of political tournament. Not to talk of how he managed to bring some states to the fold of APC recently. Believe it or not, his reincarnation will automatically change many political calculations from state, Kano, to be precise, to national spaces.</p><div class="Do8IjGh5" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>When President Bola Ahmed Tinubu nurtured and advanced the idea of making Ganduje the party&#8217;s national Chairman, the first and quick reason he gave, though he owed nobody any explanation, was LOYALTY, LOYALTY, LOYALTY!</p>

<p>Ganduje was the first governor among all APC governors in the country, that, from day one, supported Tinubu&#8217;s candidature during Muhammadu Buhari&#8217;s administration. It was clear to all, that, Presidency and many other federal agencies, like Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) were outrightly against Tinubu.</p>
<p>Do you remember the issue of new currency, when election was around the corner? What of issues like &#8220;Presidency supports Senate President, Ahmed Lawan,&#8221; being marketed all over? Ganduje was still standing firm, from roots to leaves.</p>
<p>During the heyday of that brazen hatred for Tinubu, Ganduje reminded Hausa people of the popular Mamman Shata&#8217;s song of HABU NA HABU. That show of inner pain by Ganduje sparked many angers within the then corridor of power.</p>
<p>It was known to all that, Ganduje&#8217;s political sagacity, experience, maturity, commitment to the cause of Jagaban, &#8220;kulle-kulle&#8221; (intrigues) and other spiritual engagements, for sure, made it possible for undecided Northern APC Governors to make it public that, their weights were behind Tinubu. So also other political juggernauts across the region.</p>

<p>It went to the extent that, those governors made their position crystally clear that, they would accept only a Southern candidate for Presidency. Take it or leave it, Ganduje played an important role at that time. This is loyalty at its peak!</p>
<p>Before advancing some possible postulations, as what are the other factors or indices that were identified to be major players in his strength, let me quickly and briefly discuss what his re-emergence means to the survival and strength of the party in both Kano state and Nigeria as a whole.</p>
<p>Ganduje&#8217;s continued reign will do the following magic for the party :</p>
<p>1. APC in Kano will be more united and stronger. Simply because, the wall is still standing firmly. As his reign as the National Chairman means a lot for the survival of the party.</p>
<p>Though Ganduje is not a political idol, but a political flagship. Even his political opponents understand how influential he is as a political calculus. All those who work closely with him know how brilliant and refined his thinking and approach are.</p>
<p>2. Process of fielding candidates for elective positions in Kano, in the next coming 2027 general election, will become much easier, accepted and adaptable.</p>
<p>3. The rumor of the possible cross &#8211; carpeting of the former Governor of the state, Senator Rabi&#8217;u Musa Kwankwaso, from New Nigeria People&#8217;s Party (NNPP), to APC, is put to halt. Depending on the political dynamism of future occurances.</p>
<p>4. Ganduje&#8217;s deeper understanding of political sophistication and intrigues will open more doors for APC at the national level, to breathe well with intriguing precaution.</p>
<p>Reconsidering APC&#8217;s direction for emphatic re-engineering of party&#8217;s entire strategy for survival in Kano and the country, in my view, is what influenced the role played by the Deputy Senate President, Barau I Jibrin, in Ganduje&#8217;s vote of confidence at the top higher spaces.</p>
<p>Among all the APC elected elements, from Kano state, Barau leads in this process. No wonder being an elected person occupying the highest position among all other elected people from Kano state. As bridging gaps of uncertainty and incommunicado becomes secretly open, it appears Ganduje and Barau are closing ranks with dispatch and frank commitment, in Kano first and in Nigeria.</p>
<p>APC Governors Forum also played a significant role in Ganduje&#8217;s reassurance, enjoyed from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and NEC Meeting. They appreciated how he managed to pave way for more Governors to register their membership to the Forum. As APC under Ganduje swept in more states for the party.</p>
<p>The way I see it is, probably by now, Ganduje and very few stakeholders, know which cap fits who in the forthcoming positions come 2027 general elections. Depending on how the cards are played. This is just my personal opinion. I stand to be corrected.</p>
<p>Consensus is to democracy, what brain is to human body and existence. While the upcoming and long existing situations have started shaping the future of APC&#8217;s victory in forthcoming elections, political marriages and fences mending are on top gear.</p>
<p>I, and other people who share similar view, hope that, some contending individuals could and would jettison their interest for the overall interest of the party in the state. Some will be moved upward, some will be made to change direction with genuine reasons and put hands together with Ganduje as the overall boss.</p>
