The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Ganduje, has explained why he led a delegation of National Working Committee members to see the immediate past president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, in Katsina State.
Ganduje and his team visited the former President in his home town, Daura, on Monday.
The former governor of Kano State in a statement issued in Abuja by his Chief Press Secretary, Edwin Olofu, said he went to formally introduce the new leadership of the APC to the former president and to rejoice with him on the occasion of Nigeria’s 63rd Independence anniversary.
He said, “It is mainly to introduce the newly constituted National Working Committee of our great party. And also to show to him our solidarity and to thank him for what he has done for the country in eight years.
“To also congratulate him on the Independence Day celebration, 63 years of development for Nigeria for which eight years must be a portion for his administration. That is why we are here in Daura at his residence, and we thank him for receiving us.”
Speaking on the victories of the APC in some of the Tribunal judgments delivered so far, the National Chairman said: “Of course, seeing is believing and we are happy and comfortable. But that is not enough.
“We have three off-season elections coming up in Kogi, Bayelsa and Imo. Insha Allah, we will also win these elections. So, we are happy with the developments.”
The national chairman and other NWC members on his entourage have since returned from Daura to the Federal Capital Territory.
