The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Committee (NEC) held its 12th meeting and elected Abdullahi Ganduje, the former Governor of Kano State, as the new National Chairman of the party. Ajibola Basiru, the former Senate spokesman, was elected as the National Secretary.
The meeting took place at the Congress Hall of Transcorp Hilton in Abuja, with prominent party members like President Bola Tinubu, Vice President Kashim Shettima, and members of the Progressive Governors’ Forum in attendance.
In his address to the NEC, the President stated that the APC had emerged victorious in the elections, and now it is time to fulfill the promises of good governance to the Nigerian people. He described the 2023 elections as the best in the country’s history.
Notably absent from the NEC meeting were ex-President Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice President Yemi Osinbajo. However, the first National Chairman of the party, Bisi Akande, was present.
The NEC meeting followed the APC national caucus session held on Wednesday. Earlier in mid-July, two members of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Senator Iyiola Omisore, resigned from their positions as the National Chairman and National Secretary, respectively.
