Buni, Other Black Legs In Corridors Of Power Tried To Supplant President’s Will -Akeredolu

Former Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) Chairperson Mai Mala Buni’s actions were described as an embarrassment by Ondo Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu on Thursday.

He emphasized that APC deserved complementary responsibilities.

“With nostalgia, one can recall the moments of our struggle as compatriots from all walks of life enunciated and berthed Nigeria’s most ingeniously successful political network,” Akeredolu said in a statement signed in Akure, the state capital.

“To be honest, APC’s birth was unusual. The party’s ideological beacon was enticing.

“Undoubtedly, Mr President, who leads the APC-led administration, deserves the full support and responsibility of all stakeholders for his firm leadership, candour, and honesty.

“The APC Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) installation went beyond service. Our party’s Rule of Law had to be strengthened to instill discipline in leadership and cohesion among stakeholders.

The insidious and appalling events within the ruling party in recent months, especially under the previous leadership, posit a huge embarrassment, he said.

“The path taken recently by Governor Mai Mala Buni, the immediate past head of the CECPC and a select few is an unenviable trajectory undeserving of our dear party,” he said. It’s a sour tale.

“However, most APC Governors’ courage, determination, and sincerity of purpose remain a delight. Significantly, Mr. President’s quick response and action saved our great party from internal scavengers. We did survive a Civilian Coup fueled by malice and an insatiable desire for power.

As a major stakeholder in the latest successful Rescue Mission, I express my confidence in Governor Sanni Bello (ABU LOLO) to lead APC. Except for a few “Yahoo, Yahoo” Governors (apologies to Salihu, former DG of the Progressive Governors’ Forum), we Governors are for the party.

“We, the true Progressive Governors, are determined to see our Party through these rough patches.

“None of the small group has the guts to carry out the sponsored stories’ fictitious threats. We dare them to leave. In order to supplant the President’s will, they used fake letters, endorsements, and a ‘Black Market’ injunction (procured since November 2021) to arm twist Governor Buni.

The clear motive to frustrate our national convention has been foiled, and our dear party is on the rise. Gov. Sanni Bello, ABU LOLO, keep going; you have our support. You will have our full support at the National Executive Committee meeting on March 17, 2022”.
