According to Garba, the engagements will involve party leaders and other critical stakeholders, with the aim of reviewing the evolving political landscape and strengthening internal cohesion within the party.
He explained that the consultations were part of Dr. Ganduje’s continued commitment to inclusive dialogue and constructive engagement within the APC, particularly in Kano State.
