Friday, was not, as officially stated, due to ill health, but rather it was a result of pressure from President Bola Tinubu, multiple sources told KingJosephlive yesterday.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the specific reasons for the alleged rift between President Tinubu and Ganduje remained unclear as of last night, it is understood that the president had privately conveyed to Ganduje his expectation for him to step down by Monday.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ganduje\u2019s decision to resign before the stipulated Monday deadline reportedly caught the Presidency off guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Bola Tinubu arrived in Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia, Saturday evening for the first leg of his two-nation trip to the Caribbean and South America.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u200eThis is contained in a statement issued by the Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga and made available to newsmen in Abuja.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Onanuga, \u200eupon arrival at Hewanorra International Airport, the President was accorded full military honours and received by the Governor-General of Saint Lucia, Cyril Charles, and Prime Minister Philip Pierre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The National Coordinator of the South East Renewed Hope Agenda, Belusochukwu Enwere, has affirmed that President Bola Tinubu holds the South East region in high regard and remains committed to advancing its development and economic growth.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He made the remarks on Saturday in Umuahia, the Abia State capital, during the inauguration and empowerment of small business owners, indigent persons, and women, as part of the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Tinubu\u2019s administration.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Enwere, President Tinubu is determined to empower citizens in the South-Eastern states and ensure the region is fully included in the national development agenda.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Abdullahi Ganduje\u2019s abrupt resignation as the National Chairman of the All
