Tinubu Lauds Ganduje’s Friendship, Party Loyalty At 76
President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, on his 76th birthday on December 25, 2026.
In a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, Tinubu described Ganduje as an astute politician and accomplished administrator who served the country in various positions over the last 50 years.
Ganduje previously served as a senior administrator in the Federal Capital Territory and was recalled home to serve as the Commissioner for Works in Kano State under the military regime.
He was a two-term deputy governor of Kano State and subsequently elected to two consecutive terms as governor of the state.
The former APC chairman is currently serving as the chairman of the Federal Aviation Administration of Nigeria (FAAN).
“I will forever appreciate Ganduje’s friendship and close collaboration at different times and his services to the APC.
“As he marks another year, I pray Almighty Allah to enrich him with good health to prolong his services to Nigeria and humanity”, Tinubu said.
