Dr. Ganduje highlighted the significance of Buhari’s presidency during an important period of Nigeria’s development while affirming the delegation’s respect and appreciation for his service.

“The visit was also an opportunity to extend congratulations on the Independence Day celebration, recognizing the advancements achieved in the 63 years since Nigeria gained independence,” said the APC national chairman.

He further expressed contentment with the recent successes of the party in the tribunal judgement, acknowledging the victories but emphasized the party’s focus on the upcoming off-season elections in Kogi, Bayelsa, and Imo States.

The national chairman and the accompanying NWC members have since returned to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
