Yobe State Governor and National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Mai Bala Buni has returned to Nigeria after his medical trip overseas.
Speaking to journalists on Thursday at the Yobe State Government lodge in Abuja, Governor Buni said that the Governor of Niger State, Sani Bello, who was acting on his behalf, had done very well in managing the affairs of the APC.
Buni said:
“You know that since I travelled, the Party has not stopped. His Excellency (Governor of Niger State, H.E. Abubakar Sani Bello) has done very well in managing the affairs of the Party. We are here to discuss the issues going forward. We are now at the finishing line in the preparations for our National Convention which is at hand on March 26. We are putting heads together to achieve this task ahead. I want to emphasise that the March 26 National Convention is sacrosanct.
“You know that this is not a formal meeting of the committee. These members of the CECPC just came to welcome me back to the country and wish me well after returning from a medical trip outside the country.”
In his remarks, Bello said:
“For the past one week, I have been acting as the Chairman of the CECPC and what I can tell you is that we made lots of progress towards our National Convention like we saw in the inauguration of the State Chairmen, adoption of some of the zoning formula, and some of the decisions of the CECPC taken before he (Governor Buni) left the country. I can tell you for free that in the last one week, we have ensured that we are good to go for the National Convention.”
