Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s National Caretaker Committee, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, says there is no leadership change in the party.
The clarification came on the heels of media reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, as Chairman of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.
It was reported that the Niger State governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, would take over the affairs of the party.
However, reacting to the reports on Monday, Senator Akpanudoedehe, said the report is fake news and should be disregarded.
“Our attention has been drawn to sponsored media reports on an imaginary leadership change in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC).”
“The media report is fake news and should be disregarded. The APC is a progressive political party guided by rules. Leadership changes are not announced by ‘sources’ through name dropping in the media.
“We urge our teeming supporters, members and indeed the general public to remain calm and support the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC CECPC conduct a rancour-free and credible national convention deserving of our great party.”
