In a congratulatory message co-signed by its National Director Seyi Bamigbade and National Deputy Director, Abba Rabbeu, who also served as Senior Special Assistant On Political Awareness to former Governor Ganduje, the APC Council said the opposition parties were currently jittery over the newly-elected chairman, who wields an array of experience in the management of humans and resources.
According to the council, former governor Ganduje has over the years played a significant role in entrenching internal democracy and reconciling aggrieved members within the party. The APC council said: “The emergence of Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje as the National Chairman of our great party and Senator Basiru Ajibola as National Secretary is undoubtedly a good omen in our drive to continue offering the Nigerian people excellent service.
