The decision was taken barely an hour after President Bola Tinubu arrived at Transcorp Hilton, venue of the NEC meeting on Thursday.

APC has elected Former Governor Ganduje as the party’s national Chairman and Basiru as Secretary.

 

Newsonline Nigeria reports that the Former Governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje and Spokesperson for the ninth Senate, Senator Ajibola Basiru, were on Thursday officially ratified to replace the immediate past National Chairman of All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu and former National Secretary, Iyiola Omisore.

 

The decision was taken barely an hour after President Bola Tinubu arrived at Transcorp Hilton, venue of the NEC meeting on Thursday.

 

The president arrived at the Congress Hall of the hotel surrounded by stern-looking operatives suspected to officers of the Department of State Services at about 11.35 am.

 

Following the announcement of their appointments, supporters of Ganduje and Basiru broke into jubilation that almost disrupt the programme temporarily.
