Governor Sani Bello of Niger State has taken over control of the All Progressives Congress (APC) following the removal of Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, who has been in charge of the ruling party’s caretaker committee in the last two years.
Bello is currently presiding over a meeting of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and State chairmen of the party.
In an interview with newsmen at the end of a meeting with the Caretaker Committee and another with states chairmen, Bello, who sat on Buni’s former seat, said, “The states chairmen, took their oath of office today.
“We discussed progress made so far on convention and what needs to be done next so that we will achieve the March 26 date for the convention.”
Responding to a question on why he presided over the meetings, the governor said, “Acting Chairman; I have been acting for a while since the chairman (Buni) travelled.”
When asked to confirm Buni’s sack and his appointment as the new chairman of the Caretaker Committee, Bello said, “No comment.”
