APC: Buni Takes Over, Promises Justice To All As Police Unseal Secretariat

The police have lifted the blockade on the National Secretariat of the All Progressives Congress.

This happened moments after the National Executive Committee meeting of the party presided over by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), dissolved the Party’s National Working Committee.

The newly appointed Chairman, All Progressives Congress Caretaker Committee/Extra Ordinary Convention Planning Committee, Governor Mai Mala Buni, has promised to be just and fair to all members as the party seeks a permanent solution to its crisis.

He made the pledge during a brief stopover at the party National Secretariat, in Abuja, on Thursday.

The Yobe state governor, who until his election, was the APC National Secretary, said, “After being two-time National Secretary of the party, I can say I know the party very well. I want to assure every APC member that we will do justice to everyone because we have a capable team.

“I am a team player and I am here to manage a crisis and if you do not manage crisis, crisis will manage you. So, without justice there will be no peace, so I am ready to do justice to every APC member.

“NEC is the highest organ of the party except for the convention, and NEC can function for convention in-between, so any decision taken by NEC is the final decision. NEC has directed that every member in court should withdraw his suit.

“(The) party will carry all members along especially the leaders of the APC. Many of them have paid their dues. So, we will carry them along.”
