APC Senators Not Aware Buni Was Sacked – Smart Adeyemi

Senator Smart Adeyemi of Kogi State said his colleagues in the National Assembly were unaware that President Muhammadu Buhari had sanctioned the dismissal of APC caretaker committee Chairman Mai Mala Buni.

Following Buni’s medical treatment abroad, Niger State Governor Abubakar Bello assumed the chairmanship of the party.

Some believe Buni is being pushed out to ensure the party’s delayed convention happens this month.

Despite Governor Bello’s claims, a handover letter from Buni has surfaced.

Buni, who is also the Yobe State Governor, is expected to resume his Chairmanship duties after returning from medical treatment abroad.

Senator Adeyemi echoed pro-Buni sentiments on Politics Today.

“Mai Mala Buni wrote a letter saying he was traveling. And he did so in that letter to the Niger State Governor,” Senator Adeyemi said.

“We in the Senate are unaware that Mr. President ordered the acting Chairman to resign.”

People who have “one or more interests to protect” sparked the debate, Senator Adeyemi said.

”It’s just a game.” “Mai Mala Buni did an excellent job bringing back Governors, former Generals, and statesmen to the APC. So the APC has grown stronger. We owe him a debt of gratitude.
