Why Buhari made U-turn on alleged removal of Buni

By allcitynews.ng

President Muhammadu Buhari has made not just U-turn alone by supporting but also warned Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State; his Kaduna State counterpart, Nasir el-Rufai; and other All Progressives Congress (APC) governors to desist from attacking their Yobe State colleague, Mai Mala Buni.

The latest move, allcitynews.ng learnt, was a script written in London following the visit to PMB by Buni and others and the script is being played out in Nigeria.

PMB also urged the governors to allow the Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Committee to proceed with all preparations to hold the March 26 convention of the party.

The President spoke in London when he met Buni and Minister of Education, Adamu Adamu. Buhari, Buni and Adamu are all on medical vacation in the United Kingdom.

This was contained in a statement by presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, on Wednesday 16 March 2022.

The statement was titled, ‘President Buhari Backs Buni-Led Cecc; Directs Apc Governors To Stop Further Utterances That Lead To Disunity’.

It read, “President Muhammadu Buhari has once again intervened in the uncertainties currently rocking the All progressives Congress, APC.

“In a letter personally signed by him, addressed to Governor Atiku Bagudu of Kebbi State who is also the Chairman of the Progressives Governors Forum, President Buhari said the multiplicity of cases currently rocking the party has the prospect of invalidating the activities and actions of the Party by the Independent National Electoral Commission.

Furthermore, it said “The letter which was also copied to the Chairman of Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Committee, the Acting Chairman of the CECC, Governor Sani Bello, the Director-General of the DSS as well as the Inspector General of Police, the President said that since the party could not change the leadership of the CECC without infringing on the time limit set by INEC, and the fact that the current uncertainties and controversies “pose a real threat to the party.”

“The issue of the leadership of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Committee should immediately return to status quo ante.”

In addition, he warned, saying, “All members of the Governors Forum and their followers should desist from any behaviour or utterance that will likely lead to disunity in the ranks of the party, and ultimately jeorpadise the transition to the convention;

“The Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Committee should accordingly be allowed to proceed with all necessary preparations to hold the convention as planned- unfailingly on 26th March, 2022.”
