Speaking after the closed-door session, Ganduje emphasised that the meeting was both a show of unity and a platform to strengthen mobilisation for Tinubu.

We are here and we examine the progress, the successes that we have achieved in our great party in Kano State. We are also here in order to assure Mr. President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, that our party in Kano State, we are solidly behind him,” he said.

“We appreciate his policy reforms. We appreciate the good work that he is doing for the country. We appreciate the good work he is doing for Kano State. And we appreciate all the appointments that he has made for the people of Kano State.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you all know what happened during the last election. We were about to win the election, but unfortunately we could not. But since after that, our party has remained intact. Our party has remained solid. And because of the good policies of Mr. President, and also because of our political dexterity in the state, we are able to attract many important politicians from other political parties that have come into our own party.”
