Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma on Monday said his Yobe State counterpart Mai Mala Buni remains the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress’ Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.
Buni’s position had come under scrutiny last week after Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State assumed the Chairmanship position as he left the country for medical treatment.
The Niger State Governor’s chairmanship is said to be backed by the President, according to Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna, amid reports that Buni was planning on delaying the APC’s planned convention this month.
However, on a television programme on Monday, governor Uzodimma said due process will have to be followed for Buni to be removed from his position. #
