Rotimi Akeredolu, governor of Ondo state, says Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), is capable of leading the party.

Akeredolu, who recently returned to the country after a three-month medical leave in Germany, hosted Ganduje, Ajibola Basiru, APC national secretary, and other national leaders of the party at the government house in Akure on Tuesday

The Ondo governor said he is grateful for the gift of life.

“I want to thank you all for coming. I know that the Lord has answered my prayers, but I need more,” he said.

“My Chairman, I know you are capable, and you can count on my support anytime. The party has survived, and it must continue to take full control of the country’s affairs.

“You will know that we have a befitting office when you visit Akure. After the Abuja office, it’s the Ondo office that we can be proud of.”

On his part, Ganduje said Akeredolu has been providing good governance in Ondo.

“We can not forget the good governance you have been providing for Ondo state and Nigeria at large,” Ganduje said.

“When one of us faces health challenges, we feel it too. We have come with our Bishop to offer prayers for your health.

“In your absence, the national working committee was reformed. The national chairman and the national secretary of the party both resigned. Prior to this, there were gaps due to resignations or deaths.”

Ganduje added that the party’s national working committee (NWC) is now “fully operational”.
