“The President extols 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, notes 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.”
