President Muhammadu Buhari, Thursday night hosted the founding fathers of the All Progressive Congress (APC) to a dinner at the Presidential Villa.
The get together, he said was to show his 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 engagement was also in furtherance of genuine efforts by Buhari at ensuring a rancor free and successful national convention of the party coming up on Saturday.
In attendance were the First Interim Chairman of Party Chief Bisi Akande, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Dr Ogbomnaya Onu, Rochas Okorocha, Ibrahim Shekarau and Aliyu Magatakarda Wamako.
