Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, is currently holding an emergency meeting with some members of the caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of his assumption of the leadership of the party.
Nigeria News House (NNH) gathered that the meeting was convened to implement President Muhammadu Buhari’s directive on the removal of Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, as the chairman of the ruling party’s caretaker committee.
Buhari had reportedly ordered the removal of Buni and his secretary, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe after some governors of the party met with the president to discuss the crisis rocking the party ahead of the March 26 National Convention.
Recall that Buni took over the leadership of the party in June 2020 following the sack of Comrade Adams Oshiomhole- led National Working Committee (APC).
