President Muhammadu Buhari has allegedly sacked Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, as the Chairman of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.
The Niger State governor, Sani Bello, would take over the affairs of the party, Daily Trust reports.
However, the Secretary of the Caretaker Committee, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, noted that there is no leadership change in the party.
He affirmed that the media report is fake news and should be disregarded.
“Our attention has been drawn to sponsored media reports on an imaginary leadership change in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC).”
“The media report is fake news and should be disregarded. The APC is a progressive political party guided by rules. Leadership changes are not announced by ‘sources’ through name dropping in the media.
“We urge our teeming supporters, members and indeed the general public to remain calm and support the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC CECPC to conduct a rancour-free and credible national convention deserving of our great party,” he said in a statement.
Meanwhile, all roads linking the secretariat in Wuse 2, have remained blocked, thus, stopping vehicular movement. The party members and staff at the secretariat are not being allowed free entry and exit.
