HEAVY PRESENCE OF SECURITY OPERATIVES GROUND VEHICULAR MOVEMENT AT APC NATIONAL SECRETARIAT OVER ALLEGED REMOVAL OF BUNI
The heavy presence of Security Operatives over the alleged removal of the Mai Mala Buni as the Chairman of the caretaker committee grounded vehicular movement in and around the National Secretariat of the APC in Abuja on Monday morning.
The impediment in vehicular movement followed the cordoning off of all-access roads directly leading to the secretariat on Blantyre Street, Wuse 2, Abuja thereby hindering party members and secretariat staff from entering the premises.
EONS Intelligence learnt that the development was to guard against the breakdown of law and order following reports that the Niger State Governor, Abubakar Bello has taken over the APC as ‘sole administrator’ and the Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni sacked as chairman of the caretaker committee.

The report stated that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved Buni’s sack and Bello’s appointment shortly before leaving the country to London on Sunday afternoon.
However, the report was debunked by the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressive Congress.
Reacting to the incident, the National Secretary of the CECPC, John Akpanudoedehe in a statement titled "Fake News: No leadership change in APC CECPC", disclosed that leadership changes are not announced by ‘sources’ through name-dropping in the media.
According to him, ”Our attention has been drawn to sponsored media reports on an imaginary leadership change in the All Progressive Congress Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.
“The APC is a progressive political party guided by rules. Leadership changes are not announced by ‘sources’ through name-dropping in the media.
“We urge our teeming supporters, members and indeed the general public to remain calm and support the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC CECPC to conduct a rancour-free and credible National Convention.”
