Yobe State governor and Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Mai Mala Buni, met with ten members of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker/ Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee under his leadership, on Thursday, at the Yobe State Governor’s Lodge Asokoro, Abuja.
Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, who was acting Chairman of the team while Governor Buni was away in Dubai led other members of the Committee to the meeting.
He maintained “that the approved final list was the outcome of extensive consultations with all the stakeholders and follow-up at ensuring that a decent list that is representative and inclusive is put together and the same has since been issued.”
Deputy national publicity secretary of the party, Yekeen Nabena, however, dismissed the sack of Akpanudoedehe, describing it as a contravention of the party constitution. He insisted that only the NEC of the party could remove the national secretary.
“They don’t have the power to remove the secretary. What they need is two-thirds of NEC; I mean, NEC members not appointed members. The governors are elected, so they are members of NEC, the president is a member of NEC. So, whatsoever they are doing, they don’t have the power, because they failed to read their constitution
