Responding, Mr Bulama said that he had no agenda of his own, promising to work along with other party executives to move the party forward.
He lauded the contributions of the founding fathers of the APC and the feat achieved by the current NWC of the party.
Mr Bulama assured the national chairman of his resolve to help build a formidable and united APC.
“I want to assure you Mr Chairman and all party leaders that I will work with my colleagues to ensure that the party works harmoniously a d consolidates on its successes,” he said.
Present at the ceremony were Governors of Borno and Gombe State, Babagana Zulum and Mohammed Inuwa respectively.
