Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai has revealed that Mai Mala Buni can never return as National Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Governor El-Rufai also insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari directed that the caretaker committee chairman should be fired.
He said that the National Secretary, Sen. John James Akpanudoedehe, was also affected by Buhari’s directive.
The Kaduna Governor who spoke last night on Channels Television Politics Today said that neither the ousted National Chairman nor the Secretary would return as national officials of the party.
El-Rufai alleged that the former National Chairman and his team got a court order which they hid to stop the APC National Convention.
He said: “Buni is gone, the Secretary is gone. Gov. Bello is in charge and he has the backing of President Muhammadu Buhari and 19 governors.
“ Buni can only return as Governor of Yobe but never as chairman of our Party.
“President Buhari ordered his removal and this has been implemented.
“Governor Bello has taken over and things are moving according to plan.
“Party will be restored, convention will take place as scheduled. 19 governors and their deputies are solidly behind this move.
“Buni and his people got a court order to stop the convention but hid it.”
