President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has congratulated the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on his 74th birthday.
The president, in a statement on Monday by his spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, extolled the leadership hallmarks of the former governor of Kano State.
He described Dr Ganduje as a thorough-bred democrat who had devoted his life to the service of the people and Nigeria.
“In my association with him, Dr Ganduje has proved to be a loyal friend and dependable ally. He gives his all to everything he believes in, with a keen focus on effective execution. His management of our party since becoming the national chairman is a proven testimony of his capacity as a masterful politician,” he said.
