Former Governor of Kano state Abdullahi Ganduje has been elected the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He succeeds Senator Abdullahi Adamu, who resigned under controversial circumstances last month.
Ganduje was elected at the 12th National Executive Committee (NEC) Caucus meeting of the ruling party in Abuja.
President Bola Tinubu had earlier shown interest in Ganduje succeeding Adamu.
A former Senate Spokesperson, Ajibola Bashiru has also been confirmed as the party’s national secretary.
Aside from Tinubu, Vice-President Kashim Shettima, several governors and chieftains of the party were present at the NEC meeting.
