The National Secretary of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, has said that the Governing body of the party is crisis-free, strong and united.
It should be recalled that it was widely reported in the media that both the Chairman of the CECPC of the APC, His Excellency Mai Mala Buni and his Secretary, Senator Akpanudoedehe had been replaced.
In a press release on Tuesday, Akpanudoedehe, disclosed that His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State travelled outside the country on health grounds and left behind a written authorisation for other members of the CECPC to continue work, particularly the day to day management of the APC.
Akpanudoedehe said that delivering a seamlessly successful National Convention for the APC on March 26, 2022 was a top priority for the CECPC, adding that the Committee would continue to execute all legal assignments pending the return of its Chairman.
The press release reads in part:
“That on the 28th day of February, 2022 the CECPC Chairman took a long-delayed trip abroad on health grounds, leaving behind written authorisation for other members of the CECPC to continue work in his absence, particularly the day to day management of the APC.
“That in his absence, sundry activities earlier scheduled for action appeared to develop fresh urgency in order to satisfy the Timetable for the 2023 General Elections released by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), thus galvanizing some within the CECPC to act in their best understanding of both the situation and the leadership dynamics in the Committee/Party.
“That all such actions were clearly identified at all times as happening in an acting or proxy capacity, and under the auspices of the substantive Chairman, His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni, contrary to widespread speculations that the Chairman, Secretary or some other officials of the CECPC have been removed from Office or otherwise replaced.
“That the CECPC is intact and functional as originally constituted.
“That delivering a seamlessly successful National Convention for the APC on March 26, 2022 is top on priority for the CECPC and we shall continue to execute such assignments as are legal pending the return of the Chairman who is on his way back to the country and shall resume Office on arrival with the full support of all members and other stakeholders.”
