The communiqué signed by the Coordinator, Onyedibe Toochukwu (Anambra), Secretary, Chiedozie Confidence (Enugu) and Publicity Secretary, Jude Okpor (Ebonyi), as well as representatives of Abia and Imo states, further congratulated Buhari and the national leadership of the APC on the party’s successes at the elections.
