“We enjoined others of like minds to sincerely appreciate and thank President Muhammadu Buhari for his sterling leadership quality in resolving the recent crisis that almost tore the very fibre of the change mantra of our great party.”
Meanwhile, the group has congratulated the caretaker chairman of the APC, Governor Mai Mala Buni, the secretary and its members.
