Governor Sani Bello of Niger State on Monday said he has
been acting as the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC,
Caretaker Committee “for a while now”.
Bello disclosed this while addressing journalists after
presiding over a meeting of the APC’s National Caretaker committee at the
party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
When asked if he has taken over APC’s leadership, Bello
said: “Acting chairman, I have been acting for a while since the chairman
travelled.”
When pushed further, the governor said: “No comment.”
There had been reports that President Muhammadu Buhari had
allegedly approved the removal of the Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, as
the Chairman, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), of
the party.
Buni was said to have been replaced with his Niger State
counterpart, Abubakar Sani Bello.
A faction of the APC governors was alleged to have
complained bitterly to the president that Buni was not inclined to hold the
convention as rescheduled, because there were no preparations on the ground to
indicate so.
