The dismissal of Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni as the Chairman caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been ratified by a Southern Governor elected on the party’s platform.

In an interview with Newsmen, the Governor, whose identity was not revealed, stated that he was there at the meeting when President Buhari ordered Buni’s departure.

He further revealed that Sani Bello, the Governor of Niger State, is now conducting a meeting and would succeed Buni.
The Governor added that Buni and the National Secretary of the Party, John James Akpanudoedehu would be removed in line with Buhari’s directive.
The Southern Governor while referring to the statement of Akpanudoedehe claiming that Buni had not been removed said “The statement by the caretaker committee describing the president’s directives on Buni’s sack as fake was funny because I was there when the president ordered for the Yobe governor’s sack. As we are talking, Niger Governor is holding a meeting. Buni and the secretary are to be removed in line with the president’s directives.”
The development has seen security operatives block vehicular movement at the secretariat of the ruling party in Abuja.
