Exchanges have continued regarding the health of former APC National Chairman and former Kano State Governor, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, following reports claiming he is in critical condition at a sanitorium in London.
still, in an exclusive interview with us on Monday, Ganduje’s Chief of Staff and former Kano State Commissioner for Information, Comrade Mohammed Garba, handed clarity on the matter, stating that although Ganduje, who is 75 times old, is indeed in London, he is in good health negative to the rumours circulating.

“ He is fine. Of course, it’s rare for someone of Ganduje’s age not to have some minor health enterprises, but it’s n’t true that he is in critical condition as people are claiming, ” the former Commissioner stated.
He added that since the death of former President Muhammadu Buhari, Ganduje has been in London, which is why he was unfit to attend Buhari’s burial. “ We spoke with him just last night, and there is no problem.
Anyone can fall sick, but as far as I know, he is in stable health, ” Garba said. Mohammed Garba further stated that if Ganduje’s health were in a critical state, they would have no reason to hide it from his backers so that prayers could be made on his behalf.
also, a family source who spoke to us on condition of obscurity vindicated that there is no verity to the rumours about Ganduje’s health.
“ I’ve n’t spoken to him directly, but I have spoken with those who are with him over there, and there is nothing like what is being spread. We are also just seeing these rumours far and wide, ” the source said.
Ganduje, who led the APC from 2023, abnegated from his position citing health reasons, as stated in his adoption letter.
still, he was subsequently seen taking up duties as the Chairman of the Civil fields Authority of Nigeria( FAAN), which led some to question the reasons he gave for stepping down, while others suspect it was part of moves to bring his political rival and former Kano State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, into the APC.
