Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has commended Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje for resigning as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing health reasons.
Obi praised Ganduje’s decision, saying it was “wise and honourable” to step aside when one’s health may no longer permit optimal service.
“I must commend Ganduje for prioritising his health above all else,” Obi said in a post on his X handle on Saturday.
“With 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 Obi said.
Obi threw a challenge to other leaders who may be struggling with health issues, urging them to take a cue from Ganduje’s example.
“By this exemplary action, Ganduje has thrown a challenge to other leaders who, due to health-related issues, are no longer able to deliver optimally,” Obi said. “I sincerely hope they take a cue from him.”
Obi emphasized the need for leaders who are competent, physically and mentally fit, and capable of responding decisively to pressing issues.
“At 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,” he said.
Obi concluded by praying for Ganduje’s well-being in retirement. “May God Almighty grant Dr. Ganduje a peaceful and fulfilling retirement,” he added.
