Amid rumours of possible sack of the Caretaker Committee Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, the Niger State Governor, Abubakar Bello has sworn in the 36 State Chairmen of the party.
The inauguration was done at the party secretariat which witnessed heavy presence of security officials on Monday.
According to a THISDAY report, President Muhammadu Buhari has allegedly approved the removal of Buni after a faction of APC Governors reportedly complained bitterly about the former’s plans to scuttle the imminent planned convention.
The APC convention has been postponed more than once since Buni, who is also the Governor of Yobe State, was appointed caretaker Chairman.
Meanwhile, Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Sani Bello on Monday presided over a meeting of the Caretaker/Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The meeting was held at the APC National Secretariat in Abuja.
The Niger State Governor shared pictures from the meeting which showed him seated in what appears to be the position meant for the Chairman of the APC-CECPC, Governor Mai Bala Muni of Yobe State.
“I am currently presiding over the Caretaker/Extra-ordinary Convention Planning Committee of the APC at the National Secretariat of the Party,” Governor Bello captioned the photos.
At the end of the meeting when he was asked by journalists if he is the acting chairman.
Bello said, “I have been acting Chairman for a while now.”
After the meeting which was brief, the governors took their leave while Governor Bello restates his position as the new chairman of APC caretaker committee.
