The Chairman of the Southern Governors’ Forum and Governor
of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu, SAN, has said his Yobe State counterpart, Mai
Mala Buni, tried to supplant the will of the President, Major General Muhammadu
Buhari (retd.).
The Governor of Niger
State, Abubakar Sani Bello, on Monday, declared that he’s the acting Chairman
of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker/Extra-ordinary Convention Planning
Committee. Buni had earlier served as the APC-CECPC chairman before Governor
Bello’s declaration.
In a statement on Thursday, Akeredolu welcomed the Niger
Governor’s leadership, just as he revealed that happenings within the APC in
the last few months, especially under Buni’s leadership were a huge
embarrassment.
The statement, which he personally signed, was titled ‘Buni, Pocket-filling Black Legs In Corridors Of Power Tried To Supplant President’s Will-Akeredolu.’
It read in part, “Without necessarily dwelling on details
that are known to critical stakeholders, the path taken lately by Governor Mai
Mala Buni, the immediate past head of the CECPC and an indivisible few, is an
unenviable trajectory undeserving of our dear party. It is a disdainful
narrative.
“Nevertheless, the courage and determination, as well as
shrewd sincerity of purpose demonstrated by most of the APC Governors, remain a
delight. Significantly, the swift response and prompt action taken by Mr President
have, in no small means, salvaged our great party from internal scavengers. We
indeed survived a Civilian Coup largely inspired by mischief and incurable lust
for power through artificial barricades.”
Expressing belief in the leadership of Governor Bello,
Akeredolu stated that he and other governors are for the Party, except for a
few whom he described as “Yahoo Yahoo” governors.
He said, “Succinctly, aside from feeling very delighted as a
major stakeholder in the latest successful Rescue Mission, I express my
confidence in the ability and capacity of Governor Sanni Bello(ABU LOLO) to
take APC through. We, the Governors are for the party except for the few
“Yahoo, Yahoo” Governors (apologies to Salihu, former DG of the Progressive
Governors’ Forum) who were hand in glove with Buni to circumvent the will of
majority of our Party (APC) members. Progressive Governors in the true name,
mostly all of us, are determined to see our Party through these patchy parts at
all cost.
“None of the scanty number has the guts to carry out their
imaginary threats as reported in sponsored stories. We dare them to leave the
party. Their short-lived antics in arm-twisting Governor Buni and probably,
some pocket filling elements within the corridors of power to supplant the
President’s will through fake letters, endorsements as well as ‘Black Market’
injunction (procured since November 2021) are despicable.
“Now that the clear motive aimed at frustrating our national
convention has been botched, our dear party is on the track to greatness. Gov
Sanni Bello, ABU LOLO, carry on; you have the backing of the majority of us.
You shall see our FULL backing come Thursday, 17th March 2022 at the National
Executive Committee meeting. But as you know, this is ONLY for the conduct of
the NATIONAL CONVENTION.”
