APC faction ‘sacks’ Buni-led caretaker, Udoedehe says they’re felons

A faction of the All Progressives Congress (APC) under the aegis of the Progressive Youth Movement, on Monday, announced the sack of Governor Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker/ Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee.

The movement announced a new national caretaker committee with Mustapha Audu as chairman.

The new APC national caretaker committee equally announced the formation of a national reconciliation committee with a mandate to reconcile aggrieved members before its national convention slated for February 26, 2021.

Audu also announced a zoning formula for positions in the new National Working Committee (NWC).

The faction has also attacked President Buhari over his supervision of the party.

However, in a reaction, John Akpan Udoedehe, APC National Secretary dismissed the “felonious activities of the purported group”.

He said the group is unknown to the party, its structure or as a registered support group and therefore non-existent.

“However laughable, the criminal attempt of the purported group to usurp the leadership of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC now bothers on treasonable felony.

“Relevant security bodies must now check and address their unscrupulous activities. The attention the purported group seeks will not be given to them by the party.

“We can only advise that the general public completely disregard them. They are not registered members of the APC and are being used by opposition elements and fifth columnists to cause confusion.

“As widely reported, the successful meeting between the APC leadership, Progressive Governors’ Forum and the President produced February 2022 as the timeframe for the National Convention,” Udoedehe noted.
