Niger State Governor, Abubakar Dani Bello, has arrived at the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Although it could not be confirmed whether he is assuming the position of the Chairman, Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the party, but in a video that has gone viral, people were seen hailing him as ‘chairman,’ while his vehicle was also parked at the space reserved only for the chairman.
Bello alongside other party chieftains are currently in a closed-door meeting.
Earlier on Monday, there have been reports of the governor replacing Mai Mala Buni as ‘sole administrator’ of the APC.
But the National Secretary of the CECPC, Dr James Akpanudoedehe, debunked the reports saying, Buni remained the chairman and would oversee the party’s affairs until the election of new members of the National Working Committee at the March 26 Convention.
