Buhari in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, titled “President Buhari interacts with APC governors, commends party caretakers,” said the president is impressed by the committee’s efforts.

“I am pleased with the chairman and the work of the committee. “He is highly mobile in the efforts to coordinate and strengthen the party. “I am happy with his personal efforts,” he said.
