Shortly before President Muhammadu Buhari jetted out to the United Kingdom for medical examination Sunday afternoon, he had drop the atomic bomb that consumed the All progressives Congress, APC, interim chairman, Gov Mai Buni and replaced him with the Niger State Governor Bello.
But it has been revealed that the President’s stance was borne out of the embarrassing court judgment which led to the postponement of the Congress of the party.
The President was said to be so livid that he summarily sacked the interim executive of the party until he was prevailed upon to soft pedal since he did not have the constitutional powers to summarily dismiss the interim executives.
Governor Abubakar Sani Bello was reported to have resumed at the party secretariat in Abuja where he held the maiden meeting with the staffers of the party on Monday.
But sources within the party said that as at Sunday night that the presidency and the APC governors were perturbed at Buni’s conduct and collusion with a few colleagues to undermine the interest of the APC.
Buni as the caretaker Committee Chairman had been on a rollercoaster mission piloting the affairs of APC with no proper focus for almost two years after the former Chairman Adams Oshiomhole was fired through the courts.
