Don’t create animosity in APC – Buni
Story from Ibraheem Hamza MUHAMMAD
Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State and Chairman All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) has called on members of the party not to create animosity.
This was contained in a press statement signed by Mamman Mohammed, the Director General Press and Media Affairs to Yobe State Governor.
According to him “The attention of His Excellency, Yobe State Governor and Chairman APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Honourable Mai Mala Buni, has been drawn to some media reports, whereas in the two online publications, the author’s in The Observer Times and The Cable.ng are trying to set party stakeholders against one another to ignite an unsolicited crisis, just a few days to the party’s National Convention.
The two reports which seem to suggest a victory and vanquished positions from the recent happenings in the All Progressives Congress, when His Excellency Governor Buni travelled out of the country for medical trip, are irresponsible and deliberately intended to instigate disaffection among the critical stakeholders of the party.
“Since the intervention of His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari GCFR, via a press statement, issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media, Malam Garba Shehu, calling on stakeholders to not pay attention to media war, backstabbing and name-calling, the progressive governors and all other stakeholders obliged to the presidential directive.
“Therefore, it is irrational, absurd and irresponsible for anyone at this moment to intimidate and bring confusion among the stakeholders, who are working tirelessly for the success of the upcoming Convention.
“Similarly, upon his return and assumption to office as Chairman of the party, Governor Buni described the incident as a past event and there is no victory and no vanquish. He commended his colleagues on the Caretaker Committee for the great job they have done under the acting chairmanship of Niger state Governor, Abubakar Sani Bello.
“The Governors and other critical stakeholders are now heading various sub-committees of the convention and have been meeting with the chairman to ensure a successful arrangement for the convention.
“Therefore, it amounts to irresponsibility for anyone to write an injurious opinion in complete disregard to the directive from the President. The party and all stakeholders would not condone such disrespect to the President to deliberately cause confusion and divert attention from the cause of having a fruitful convention.
“The authors of such baseless, flimsy, and unwarranted articles should be cautious of the negative impact of such deliberate sabotage on the party and the good relationship between the Governors and their followers.
“The Chairman warned that the party would not tolerate such irresponsibility and advised the authors to either work for the unity of the party or just watch, if they have nothing to contribute positively.
“We remain a united family, with much respect to our President and one another, and loyal to our party. We are collectively committed to the success of the forthcoming National Convention; we will not be diverted from this noble cause of moving the APC forward”. The statement concluded.
