Buni host APC CECPC members, says March 26th APC Convention on course

Governor of Yobe State and Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mai Mala Buni on Thursday evening met with the members of the committee who were on a visit at the Yobe Government Lodge, Asokoro, Abuja.

Niger State Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello who is a member of the committee representing North Central and acted as chairman of the committee in the past week was also present.

Speaking to journalists at the Yobe Government lodge in Abuja, Governor Buni applauded the CECPC members on the level of preparations towards the National Convention.

“You know that since I traveled, the Party has not stopped. His Excellency (Governor of Niger State, H.E. Abubakar Sani Bello) has done very well in managing the affairs of the Party. We are here to discuss the issues going forward. We are now at the finishing line in the preparations for our National Convention which is at hand on March 26. We are putting heads together to achieve this task ahead. I want to emphasise that the March 26 National Convention is sacrosanct.

Governor Buni clarified that the visit was not a formal meeting of the CECPC. “You know that this is not a formal meeting of the committee. These members of the CECPC just came to welcome me back to the country and wish me well after returning from a medical trip outside the country.” He said.

Governor Abubakar Sani Bello: “For the past one week, I have been acting as the Chairman of the CECPC and what I can tell you is that we made lots of progress towards our National Convention like we saw in the inauguration of the State Chairmen, adoption of some of the zoning formula, and some of the decisions of the CECPC taken before he (Governor Buni) left the country. I can tell you for free that in the last one week, we have ensured that we are good to go for the National Convention.”
