SAYS BUNI PROCURED A HIDDEN COURT ORDER TO STOP APC CONVENTION
The Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has said President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the immediate removal of the ousted National Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress, Gov Mai Mala Buni.
El Rufai also said that the National Secretary, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, was also affected by the Presidential directive.
Akpanudoedehe packed out of his office at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja on Tuesday but quickly denied media reports that he had resigned.
The Kaduna Governor alleged that the former National Chairman and his people got a court order which they hid to stop the APC National Convention.
El Rufai said while speaking on Channels Television Politics Today on Wednesday that neither the ousted National Chairman nor the Secretary would return as National officials of the party.
He said, Buni is gone, the Secretary is gone. Gov. Bello is in charge and he has the backing of President Muhammadu Buhari and 19 governors.
“ Buni can only return as Governor of Yobe but never as chairman of our Party.
“President Buhari ordered his removal and this has been implemented.
“Governor Bello has taken over and things are moving according to plan.
“Party will be restored, convention will take place as scheduled. 19 governors and their deputies are solidly behind this move.
“Buni and his people got a court order to stop the convention but hid it.”
