A top member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Shehu Sani has hailed Yobe State Governor and Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee, Mai Mala Buni, for ‘calmly rescuing the party from the acrimonious point he met it in 2020’.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that Sani, the immediate past Senator representing Kaduna Central Senatorial District, on Monday, attacked the APC, saying “shredding good people is part of the party’s DNA.”
“I’m not a member of the ruling party, but the fact is that Buni has calmly rescued their party from the acrimonious point he met it; and became a converter wherever he goes. Shredding good people is part of the party’s DNA,” Sani, a former APC member, wrote on his known Facebook page.
It would be recalled that Abubakar Sani Bello, the Niger State governor, had taken over as acting chairman of the APC last Monday amid rumours that President Muhammadu Buhari had ordered the sacking of Buni.
Amid the controversy, some governors, including Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, and Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State, openly condemned Buni.
While El-Rufai accused Buni of conniving with some fifth columnists to procure a court order that would scuttle the convention, Akeredolu described governors supporting Buni as ‘Yahoo Yahoo (fraudulent) governors.
However, it was learnt that Bello would be transmitting power to Buni this week after Buhari’s intervention and the refusal of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to recognise his authority.
