In a resolution issued at the end of their meeting in Kano, the stakeholders also expressed appreciation and continued endorsement of Dr Ganduje’s leadership in the state.
“After careful study of his tenure, stakeholders expressed deep appreciation for the visionary and exemplary leadership of Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, CON, the immediate-past National Chairman of the APC, who voluntarily resigned his position.
“His tenure was widely lauded for promoting inclusivity, driving key institutional reforms, and strengthening the internal structures of the party,” the stakeholders said in the resolution, which was signed by the APC chairman in the state, Prince Abdullahi Abbas.
They listed the achievements under Dr Ganduje’s stewardship to include the establishment of the Progressive Institute, a first-of-its-kind democratic training centre, the commencement of the e-registration exercise, “which marks a significant step towards establishing a comprehensive and secure digital database of party members across the country.”
Others, the stakeholders said, are: the initiation of a Skill Acquisition Programme designed to empower youths and women with sustainable livelihoods and vocational training, as well as laying of a solid ideological and structural foundation for a more robust and resilient party in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda.
