The chairman of Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, has disbanded the convention sub-committees for the March 26 national convention of the party put in place by former acting chairman and Niger State governor, Abubakar Sani Bello.
Buni in a statement issued on Thursday reassured members and stakeholders of the party, as well as Nigerians in general, that the governing party was crisis-free.
Buni and the national secretary of CECPC, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, had regained control of the party Wednesday as chairman and Secretary of the Central Planning Committee of the convention respectively following a directive by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In the disbanded subconmittees constituted by Bello when he acted as acting chairman last week, Buni and Akpanudoedehe’s names were conspicuously missing.
With the latest development, the subcommittees earlier constituted by Buni will now take charge of preparations for the convention.
The statement reads: “The Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the Chairmanship of Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, makes this press release to clarify the events of last week and reassure the membership and stakeholders of the Party, as well as the Nigerian people in general, that the Governing party is crisis-free, strong and remains united in giving the country the transformative leadership and good governance which she promised them.
