Ajibola Bashiru, on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The former Kano State governor cited health reasons for his decision to step down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obi, a former governor of Anambra, gave his commendation in a post on his X handle on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, he read a news report that the APC National Chairman, Ganduje, resigned from his position with immediate effect, citing health challenges as the reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI must commend Ganduje for prioritising his health above all else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWith his health reportedly in decline, it is both wise and honourable to step aside, knowing that he may no longer be able to render the level of service required by the party, the people, and the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy this exemplary action, Ganduje has thrown a challenge to other leaders who, due to health-related issues, are no longer able to deliver optimally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI sincerely hope they take a cue from him\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He explained that the challenges confronting Nigeria required leaders who were competent, physically and mentally fit with the capacity and agility to respond decisively and promptly to pressing issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt this critical point and difficult time, we can no longer afford leadership defined by medical tourism, long holidays, or absenteeism caused by age-related ailments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese things are taking a serious toll on our development. May God Almighty grant Dr Ganduje a peaceful and fulfilling retirement\u201d, he added.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 election, Mr Peter Obi, has commended Dr Abdullahi<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"wpupg_custom_link":[],"wpupg_custom_link_behaviour":[],"wpupg_custom_link_nofollow":[],"wpupg_custom_image":[],"wpupg_custom_image_id":[],"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-75","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-issues-of-interest-7"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=75"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76,"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75\/revisions\/76"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=75"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=75"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingjoseph.live\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=75"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
