By EZEKIEL OBI, Abuja –
The All Progressives Congress (APC) has debunked the rumours making the rounds on social media that President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked the party’s caretaker committee and its chairman, Mai Mala Buni.
The National Secretary of APC’s Caretaker Committee, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, who disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday, said the report was false.
According to the statement: “Our attention has been drawn to sponsored media reports on an imaginary leadership change in the APC- CECPC.”
“The media report is fake news and should be disregarded. The APC is a progressive political party guided by rules. Leadership changes are not announced by ‘sources’ through name dropping in the media.”
“We urge our teeming supporters, members and indeed the general public to remain calm and support the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led APC CECPC conduct a rancour-free and credible National Convention deserving of our great party.”
