Former Governor of Kano State, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, has paid a surprise visit to the immediate past national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Adamu, in Abuja.

Ganduje was received by Adamu at his Abuja residence on Thursday evening.

The development is coming two weeks after Adamu resigned as the party’s national chairman over alleged constitutional violation, failure to render party account for one year, highhandedness among others.

A source confirmed that the former Kano State governor was warmly received by the erstwhile national chairman of the party.

“It was good seeing them together in a friendly atmosphere unlike what critics would have expected. After exchanging pleasantries and cracking their routine jokes, they subsequently had a closed-door meeting.

“Although I cannot immediately confirm what they discussed, I want to believe it must have everything to do with how to resolve challenges and internal crisis plaguing the party,” the source said.

The APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, however saw nothing wrong with the visitation.

APC NEC meeting

Meanwhile, the APC has summoned meetings of its National Caucus and the long awaited National Executive Committee to hold on August 2 and 3 respectively.

The announcement was posted on the party’s official Twitter handle by the acting National Secretary of the party, Festus Fuanter on Friday.

The development is coming barely 24 hours after President Bola Tinubu approved the dates for the meetings in a phone chat with one of his minister-designate and Acting National Chairman of the party, Senator Abubakar Kyari.

The announcement was signed by the national secretary of the APC and posted on the party’s official Twitter handle.

The press statement also indicated that both meetings will take place in two separate venues.
