The letter was signed by the National Chairman’s Chief of Staff, Abdullahi Gashua, a copy of which was made available to newsmen in Kano.
It said that “Hon. Mai Mala Buni decided to wade in, to restore sanity and bring back unity of purpose and re-enact the eroded trust among the APC members, Kano state family.
“With the support of capable and tested hands, the reconciliation committee headed by Gov Buni, sat with leading lights of the two sides.
“And painstakingly examined all issues raised which bordered mainly on exclusion.
“That, Gov. Abdullahi Ganduje is the undisputed APC leader in Kano state, and as the leader, he is encouraged to demonstrate leadership to accommodating key stakeholders.
“That none of the two sides can have 100 per cent of its demands and that you cannot lack what you give, you only lack what you keep,” the letter said.
The letter further gave terms of reference of the caucus formation at local government and state levels.
