Breaking: Buni remains APC chairman – CECPC dismisses Sani Bello’s takeover

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has declared that Yobe Governor Mai Mala Buni remains the National Chairman.

John Akpan Udoedehe, Secretary APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) , stated this on Tuesday.

The scribe addressed the media at the party headquarters in Abuja.

He said it became necessary to clarify “the events of last week”, referring to the takeover of the chairmanship seat by Niger Governor Sani Bello.

Udoedehe insists the ruling party is crisis-free, strong and united in giving Nigeria the transformative leadership and good governance promised.

“The CECPC was appointed, and has always done her best, to steer the affairs of the APC in line with the mandate invested in her at inauguration by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the All Progressives Congress.

“On the 28th day of February, 2022 the CECPC Chairman (Buni) took a long-delayed trip abroad on health grounds, leaving behind written authorisation for other members of the CECPC to continue work in his absence, particularly the day to day management of the APC.

“In his absence, sundry activities earlier scheduled for action appeared to develop fresh urgency in order to satisfy the Timetable for the 2023 General Elections released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)”.
