of the All Peoples Party.

Musa Kwankwaso Campaign for President and thereafter served as member of the
APC Presidential Campaign Committee that worked for the successful election of
President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015.
“The late party chieftain who served the APC as first
interim National Auditor was one the stabilizing forces in the party and always
identified with progressive causes to strengthen the Party and ensure unity
among members.”
The part said the deceased left at a critical time when he
was needed to contribute to nation building and the implementation of the APC
Change Agenda.
