Events keep unfolding within the ranks of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) over the limbo of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) chairmanship position, IgbereTV reports
The confusion over the position was due to the alleged usurpation by Governor Sani Bello of Niger State who had written a letter on Wednesday to the Independent National Electoral Commission, inviting it to the emergency National Executive Council meeting of the party.
However, the INEC rejected the invitation to the emergency meeting, stating that the notice for the meeting was not signed by the National Chairman and National Secretary of the CECPC, runs contrary to the provision of the Article 1.1.3 of the Commission’s Regulations and Guidelines for Political Party Operations (2014).
Consequently, the CECPC at a press conference on Friday at the Buhari House National Secretariat of the party in Abuja clarified the situation.
According to its spokesman, Ismaeel Ahmed, the position of Governor Mai Mala Buni remains sacrosanct since Governor Bello only acts as the Chairman in his absence
