The Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) chairman of All Progressive Congress (APC), Mai Mala Buni, has denied the media report that he has nullified all the pre convention activities and decisions taken by the Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, who acted while he was abroad on medical leave.
A statement issued yesterday by the chairman said the purported termination of all activities by Governor Bello was misleading, adding that all such actions and activities stand valid.
According to the statement, “This is to bring to the notice of all Stakeholders and members of the party that the purported suspension of some activities initiated and executed by the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee under the acting Chairman and Niger State Governor, H.E. Muhammed Sani Bello, IS NOT TRUE. Therefore, all activities that were done in my absence remain valid and binding.
“All Party Stakeholders and members are hereby advised to disregard the previous statement discarding the activities of the Committee under the leadership of the Acting Chairman.
“It could be recalled that I had duly transmitted power to His Excellency, the Niger State Governor, H.E. Muhammed Sani Bello to enable me undergo medical attention. Therefore, all actions and measures taken by the Committee under his leadership as Acting Chairman, remain effective.”
To this end, the statement called for support and understanding to move the party forward to a successful Convention slated for March 26th, 2022.
