Buhari Rejoices with APC Chairman, Mai Buni, at 54

Deji Elumoye in Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has felicitated with the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Mai Mala Buni, as he marks his 54th birthday.

The president, in a release on Friday by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, commended the party chieftain for providing exceptional and visionary leadership at state and national levels, noting in particular the role played by the chairman, who is also the Governor of Yobe State, in successfully repositioning the party, with remarkable evidence in increased membership, healthy social atmosphere and exemplary internal democracy.

The president extolled the political leader for inspiring hope in the young and old for a greater and better future for Nigeria by embarking on a historic reconciliation and restitution drive that has strengthened the governing party and positioned it for victories, starting with the successful ward, local and state conventions and build up to a national convention.

President Buhari noted the laudable achievements of the Buni-led political team that rekindled hope in members, attracted new members, including key leaders in other parties and steadily showed the APC as the most organised, well-structured and fully motivated platform for bringing development to the country.

The president, therefore, prayed for his good health, more wisdom and courage to actualize his dreams for the party and the country.
