Gov. Buni emerges chairman of newly constituted APC 7-man committee
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has taken a significant step towards strengthening its internal structures by constituting a seven-member committee to oversee the expansion of the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC).
His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni CON, former Chairman of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), has been appointed to chair the committee.
According to a statement by Yusuf Ali, Senior Special Assistant Digital and Strategic Communications to Yobe State Governor, APC spokesperson, Felix Morka, announced the development after the NEC meeting held at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
He explained that the committee, under Governor Buni’s leadership, will establish the criteria for onboarding new members into the NEC, a move aimed at accommodating more stakeholders and fostering inclusivity within the party.
Governor Buni’s appointment to lead this crucial committee underscores the party’s confidence in his leadership and reformist credentials.
As the former Chairman of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC), Governor Buni played a pivotal role in stabilising the APC during a challenging period, culminating in a successful national convention and a smooth leadership transition.
