Buni cancels planned APC NEC meeting

Governor Mai Buni of Yobe State, the chairman of the caretaker committee of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has ordered the cancellation of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for tomorrow.

Governor Abubakar Bello who dramatically took over the party last week summoned the meeting which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declined to monitor.

In a statement by the spokesman of the ruling party, Senator John Akpanudoedehe said the scheduled gathering has been cancelled.

“As directed by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning (CECPC) and Governor of Yobe State, H.E. Mai Mala Buni, a purported emergency meeting of the Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) slated for Thursday, March 16, 2022 is hereby cancelled,” reads the terse statement.
