National chairman of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (APC CECPC), Mai Mala Buni, has dissolved the convention sub-committees for the March 26 national convention set up by Niger State Governor, Sani Bello.
President Muhammadu Buhari had on Wednesday asked governors elected the party’s platform to allow Buni conduct the national convention as earlier planned.
Bello had last week taken over the control of the party’s affairs following the alleged sack of Buni by the president.
After taking charge of the party in an acting capacity, Bello said the over 1000-member committees put in place by Buni were too many to organise the convention.
He subsequently reorganised the sub-committees and reduced the number of members to 107.
However, John Akpanudoedehe, the Secretary of the CECPC, in a statement issued on Thursday, announced the names of new sub-committee members.
“As approved by the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) and Governor of Yobe State, H.E. Mai Mala Buni, please find the list of Chairmen, Deputy Chairmen and Secretaries of the various sub-committees for the Party’s 2022 National Convention (as earlier published). The underlisted and approved sub-committees supersede any other list in circulation,” Akpanudoedehe said.
He added that the approved sub-committees are to commence work immediately.
