The deputy Senate president said the former Kano governor’s vision and contributions to the development of the country cannot be over-emphasised and described him as a “game changer.”
“The lawmaker said, ’As I predicted when he emerged as the national chairman of the largest political party in Africa on August 3rd last year, the fortunes of the ruling APC, have been blossoming under His Excellency Ganduje’s able leadership to the admiration of all.
“He is the game changer. Under him, we won four out of the five off-season elections. We won in Kogi, Imo, Edo and Ondo states.
“This is not unconnected to his outstanding leadership, pro-members’ posture and can-do spirit he has exhibited since he took over the mantle of leadership.
“More wins for our great party under his able leadership, Insha Allah,’’ he said.
