The era of Mai Mala Buni as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC might have come to a shameful end as member, representing North Central in the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) and Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello has arrived at the national secretariat of the party and currently meeting with some members of the CECPC.
There had been speculations that President Muhammadu Buhari had sanctioned the sack of Governor Buni as National Chairman of the CECPC. Buni who travelled outside the country last week was being expected back to the country on Monday but as of the time of filing this report, it was not immediately clear if he was back as most of his aides were not seen at the secretariat
Buni was reportedly ousted from office after some aggrieved Governors in the party met with the president before he left for London.
However, his anointed replacement, Governor Bello arrived at about 12pm and went straight to the National Working Committee NWC, Hall.
He also parked his official vehicle at the designated parking lot of the “National Chairman”.
He was soon followed by the National Secretary of the CECPC, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe who came into the secretariat at about 12:07 pm.
Sources at the meeting said at least nine of the 12 CECPC members were present and that the session was being presided over by Gov. Bello.
Other reports said the CECPC had been disbanded and that Gov. Bello was appointed as a sole administrator for the party.
The CECPC had often held its routine meetings on Mondays.
