APC crises and the voices of truth, by Yusuf Ali
Buhari has addressed the crises rocking APC, warning governors to stop backstabbing Buni.
Contrary to some sponsored media publications, President Muhammadu Buhari addressed, as squarely as possible, the issues that have bedevilled the party in the last few days by strongly warning APC Governors to stop backstabbing the Chairman Caretaker Committee Governor, Mai Mala Buni, calling for order in the governing APC.
The President, who is the leader of the party and father-figure, has spoken well and direct without any ambiguity. A word, they say, is enough for the wise.
As far as we are concerned, President Buhari has addressed the issues very clearly. You don’t need an English teacher to tell you what the president saying when he said, “Desist from backstabbing and name calling” as he called for order.
For example, it is clear from the message, the President did not ask Governor Sani Bello to take over the affairs of the party from Buni. If it was really so, the President would have said so categorically.
Governor El-Rufai is wrong, the President did not endorse a new party chair, neither did he ask for a NEC meeting to be held this week. If that were true, Mr President, who is always direct (Baba Mai Gaskiya) would have confirmed it.
Make no mistake, Governor Buni is the authentic Chairman of the APC CECPC by law. President Buhari doesn’t need to say that because he knows pretty well who is in charge, the party processes, procedures and conventions as fully enshrined in the APC constitution.
One can deduce from the message that President Buhari was quite unhappy as he warned the APC Governors to desist from backstabbing and name calling, and use of ungentlemanly words against the Chairman APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Governor Mai Mala Buni, who has done so much for the party and doesn’t deserve to be treated in such way.
President Muhammadu Buhari has called for order, and the order should be maintained. He has cleared all doubts about the Governor Buni-led Caretaker Committee to carry on with its arrangements for the planned national convention of the party.
These are the issues that President Muhammadu Buhari, the leader of the party addressed and it is well understood without any ambiguity.
