The Chairman, Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the party, Mai Mala Buni, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, and Chief of Staff, Prof. Gambari also attended the dinner.

The get-together was to show Buhari’s appreciation to the critical stakeholders for their continued support, understanding and cooperation to his administration.
