It was previously reported that Buhari put his foot down on Wednesday, insisting that Buni be allowed to continue as party chairman following a botched attempt by APC governors to remove him after he (Buni) left the country for medical treatment.

Read the full statement below:

This is to bring to the notice of all stakeholders and members of the party that purported suspension of some activities initiated and executed by the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee under the acting Chairman and Niger State Governor, H.E Muhammad Sanni Bello, is NOT TRUE.

Therefore, all activities that were done in my absence remain valid and binding. All party stakeholders and members are hereby advised to disregard the previous statement discarding the activities of the committee under the leadership of the Acting Chairman.

It could be recalled that I duly transmitted power to His Excellency, the Niger State Governor, H.E Muhammadu Sanni Bello to enable me undergo medical attention. Therefore, all actions and measures taken by the committee under his leadership as Acting Chairman, remain effective.

The party calls for support and understanding to move the party forward to a successful convention slated for March 26th, 2022.
