The Governor also congratulated the new national executives under the leadership of Professor Nentawe Yilwatda, who emerged as the National Chairman of the party.

Governor Yusuf prayed for the safe return of all delegates and participants to their respective states, particularly those from Kano.

He added that the successful outcome of the convention signals the APC’s readiness to face future electoral challenges with confidence and unity.
