The Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), has inaugurated Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, as the chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker Committee and Extraordinary Convention Committee.
Buni was inaugurated during the party’s National Executive Committee(NEC) meeting after the National Working Committee (NWC) was dissolve, based on the recommendation President Muhammadu Buhari.
Speaking during a brief stopover at the party secretariat in Abuja, Buni, who is a former National Secretary of the party, said: “After being two-time National Secretary of the party, I can say I know the party very well. I want to assure every APC member that we will do justice to everyone because we have a capable team.
“I am a team player and I am here to manage a crisis and if you do not manage crisis, crisis will manage you. So, without justice there will be no peace, so I am ready to do justice to every APC member.
“NEC is the highest organ of the party except for the convention, and NEC can function for convention in-between, so any decision taken by NEC is the final decision. NEC has directed that every member in court should withdraw his suit.
“(The) party will carry all members along especially the leaders of the APC. Many of them have paid their dues. So, we will carry them along.”
