The ongoing crisis bedeviling the Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Party seem to have been quelled by crucial stakeholders after President Muhammadu Buhari warned against incendiary statements, IgbereTV reports
Wading into the matter, Ali Ndume, a senator representing Borno South has detailed the events which led to the alleged ouster of the Mai Mala Buni-led CECPC.
Ndume disclosed his stance on Monday during a live interview on AriseTV monitored by Ripples Nigeria.
According to the lawmaker, the actions of the 19 Governors, who are allegedly in support of the emergence of Niger State Governor, Sani Bello as the CECPC Chairman, will be eventually ratified for the betterment of the party.
Last week, Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State noted that certain actions and inactions of Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni put the ruling party at risk because they were a hindrance to the plan to hold its convention on March 26.
El-Rufai also said 19 of the 23 governors elected on the ticket of the party were on same page on the mission to prevent the party from collapsing. He did not name the four governors that were not with them.
Speaking during the interview, Ndume corroborated El-Rufai’s assertion saying, “When we have 19 people on one side, the voice of the majority will prevail and have its way. The President is the leader of our party and as I said, the 19 Governors seem not to prefer Buni and we cannot afford to go into the elections with a divided house. This issue will be resolved eventually with the inclusion of the other four Governors
