National Convention: Buni Speaks On Rift Among APC Governors

The Caretaker Chairman of the All Progressives Congress and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni has denied reports of renewed differences among governors elected on the platform of the party.

According to Buni, the Progressives Governors Forum are at peace following the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Buni in a statement released through his spokesman on Wednesday, Mamman Mohammed accused some people of trying to cause a rift among chieftains of the party.

He further stated that this person have plans to ignite an unsolicited crisis, just a few days before the party’s national convention.

Mohammed noted that media war, backstabbing and name-calling had stopped since the intervention of President Buhari.

He said, “It is irrational, absurd and irresponsible for anyone to at this moment initiate animosity and resentment among the stakeholders.

“Upon his return and assumption of office as Chairman of the party, Governor Buni described the incident as a past event and there is no Victor, No Vanquished.

“He commended his colleagues on the Caretaker Committee for the great job they have done under the acting chairmanship of Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello.”

He added that governors and stalwarts have been working with him to ensure a successful national convention of the party.

Buni noted that it would be disrespectful for anyone to go against the advice of President Buhari.
