There is currently heavy security presence at the national
secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the federal capital
territory (FCT).
This is a precautionary measure as Mai Mala Buni, chairman
of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), is billed
to inaugurate state chairpersons today.
The security agents who took positions on Blantyre street in
Wuse 2 where the ruling party’s secretariat is located were seen screening
people and vehicles.
TheCable reports that the party invited the police to forestall any protest that may break out during the ceremony.
Many of the congresses that produced some of the soon-to-be
inaugurated chairpersons were rancorous.
There were parallel congresses in some states which produced
factional leaders.
Buni’s rumored resolve not to relinquish control of the
party anytime soon is putting the APC’s planned convention scheduled for
February 26 in jeopardy.
A governor told TheCable that the CECPC chairman is only
pursuing the composition of a zoning committee — which is just one of the
several panels that need to be in place before the convention is held
“Buni is definitely up to something — he wants to inaugurate
the state executives this week and we are hearing he wants them to use a voice
vote to say he should continue in office… this will only create more friction
and confusion,” the governor had said.
