President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly hosted the founding fathers of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to a dinner at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
According to a report by Daily Trust, the dinner was intended to show appreciation to the critical stakeholders for their continued support, understanding and cooperation to his administration as well as keeping faith with the goals and ideals of the ruling party for national salvation.
The interaction was also in furtherance of efforts by President Buhari at ensuring a rancour free and successful National Convention of the party coming up on Saturday.
Those at the dinner were a former interim Chairman of the party, Bisi Akande; national leader, Bola Tinubu; Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbomnaya Onu; Senator Rochas Okorocha, Senator Ibrahim Shekarau and Senator Aliyu Wamako.
Others are governors Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State; and Aminu Masari of Katsina State; the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi; Chairman, Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the party, Mai Mala Buni; and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha.
The President is expected to meet all the 23 APC governors jointly on Friday.
