Kabiru Marafa, a former senator representing Zamfara
central, has advised Mai Mala Buni, Yobe governor and chairman of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) caretaker committee, to organise a convention or
quit.
Buni’s committee was inaugurated in June after a leadership
crisis ensued in the party.
In response to the crisis, the party’s national executive
committee (NEC) dissolved the national working committee (NWC) led by Adams
Oshiomhole, former APC chairman.
“Don’t overstretch your luck, we are not afraid of you. Many
of us are aware that your appointment is unconstitutional, [section 17(iv) of
our party’s constitution is very clear]. We only kept quiet because of the
respect we have for Mr President, and the belief that the party needs to open a
new page,” he said.
“Be informed that any action you take outside your primary
mandate of organising a convention that will usher in a new set of executives
will be null, void and of no effect whatsoever. You have up to December to do
the needful or we chase you out.
“Your state needs you more than the party, go and administer
your state, you can’t be governor and chairman of APC at the same time it’s
unconstitutional. You equally can’t accuse Chief Oshiomhole of any wrongdoing,
because you were part and parcel of all the decisions he took. If there is any
mess in APC today, you are part and parcel of it.
“We are eager to witness the emergence of a responsible leadership, a leadership we all can trust, a leadership that will carry every member, every section, every tribe along, not the type that leads by deceit and lies.”
Marafa asked Buni to focus on Yobe which he claims is in
more crisis than the APC.
“Your state, Yobe, is in deeper crisis than APC. The state
needs you more than the party, emulate your senior brother and colleague in
Borno. Your agenda will collapse in a similar way the ones before yours
collapsed,” he said.
