APC debunks report of leadership change as Niger Gov meets APC leaders ahead of ‘replacing Buni’

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as fake and imaginary, the report in some sections of the media, of a purported leadership change in the party.

Sen. John Akpanudoedehe, the National Secretary, APC Caretaker and Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), said this in a statement on Monday in Abuja, in a reaction to the report.

“Our attention has been drawn to sponsored media reports of an imaginary leadership change in the APC 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,” Akpankudohede said.

 He, therefore urged the party’s teeming supporters, members and the general public, to remain calm.

The APC stalwart also asked members of the party to continue to support the Gov. Mai Mala Buni-led APC CECPC, to conduct a rancour free and credible National Convention, deserving of the party.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that the APC National Convention has been slated for March 26, to elect new national executives of the party, currently being managed by the CECPC.

A section of the media had at the weekend reported that President Muhammad Buhari had sacked Buni as the Chairman of the APC CECPC and appointed Gov. Sani Bello of Niger, as sole administrator of the party.

Meanwhile Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Sani Bello, is currently holding an emergency meeting with some members of the caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of his assumption of the leadership of the party.

The meeting, Daily Trust gathered, was convened to implement President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive on the removal of Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, as the chairman of the ruling party’s caretaker committee.

Buni took over the leadership of the party in June 2020 following the sack of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole- led National Working Committee (APC). (Based on reports by NAN and Daily Trust)
