Speaking to journalists, Governor Buni applauded the CECPC members on the level of preparations towards the National Convention.
“You know that since I travelled, the Party has not stopped. The Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Sani Bello, has done very well in managing the affairs of the Party. We are here to discuss the issues going forward. We are now at the finishing line in the preparations for our National Convention which is at hand on March 26.
“We are putting heads together to achieve this task ahead. I want to emphasise that the March 26 National Convention is sacrosanct.
Governor Buni clarified that the visit was not a formal meeting of the CECPC.
“You know that this is not a formal meeting of the committee. These members of the CECPC just came to welcome me back to the country and wish me well after returning from a medical trip outside the country.” He said.
In his response, Governor Sani Bello explained the progress made so far as regards the March 26th National Convention.
“Well, for the past one week I have been acting as the National Chairman and we made a lot of progress towards the convention.
“Like you know, we swore-in state party chairmen, we adopted the zoning system, we adopted some documents and decisions of CECPC. So I can tell you for free that we are good to go for the convention”, he asserted.
