Akpabio applauds Ganduje at 75, says he’s committed democrat, pillar of APC

Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Wednesday extended warm congratulations to Abdullahi Ganduje, National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), on his 75th birthday.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Eseme Eyiboh, Akpabio celebrated the former Kano State governor for his dedication to democracy and his achievements within the ruling party.

“Your Excellency, this milestone is a testament to your remarkable life, dedicated service, and unwavering commitment to our great nation,” the statement read. “As two-time deputy governor and governor for another eight years, your contribution to Nigeria’s democracy is never anomalous.”

Akpabio praised Ganduje’s leadership within the APC, highlighting key successes under his tenure. “As a dedicated democrat and conscientious party man, you have brought huge successes to bear on our great party, the APC, since you came on board. Under your leadership, we have won elections in Ondo, reclaimed Edo in a resounding victory, and have made impact across board.”

The Senate President also acknowledged Ganduje’s efforts in strengthening the APC, citing increased party unity and defections from opposition members.

“The party is growing stronger and more united as many opposition members are defecting daily to the APC because of your sterling leadership and the performance of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu with the mutual collaboration of the National Assembly led by the party, ” he said.

While wishing Ganduje joy, health, and success in his continued service to the nation, Akpabio said : “As you celebrate this special day, I pray that it brings you joy, peace, and cherished moments with loved ones. May your birthday be the beginning of another year filled with good health, happiness, and continued service to our country.

” On behalf of my family, constituents, the Senate and National Assembly of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations to Your Excellency on this diamond jubilee.

“Please accept my warmest felicitations on this momentous occasion.”
