Akeredolu, El-Rufai, Other Aggrieved APC Governors May Drag Mai Mala Buni To Court
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) may be faced with more legal hurdles as reports have emerged claiming that some of the governors are planning to head to court in order to suspend Governor Mai Mala Buni from acting as the chairman of the ruling party.
A top source to The PUNCH that Buhari’s refusal to take a decisive action is one of the major cause of the crisis rocking the APC.
He said, “Buni took sides with some of these governors who were having problems with their ministers or senators after the controversial congresses. At least seven of these governors are with Buni contrary to what El-Rufai said. And in the coming days, more will fall in line following INEC’s verdict.
“However, for the stubborn ones, the court option now seems inevitable. Some of the governors are now discussing with a view to suspending Buni and ensuring that Bello takes over through the court. Once they can get a court injunction, INEC will be forced to comply. This was how Adams Oshiomhole was kicked out of office as the national chairman of our party.
“The challenge now is that everyone claims Buhari is on their side while the President is refusing to speak. Buhari can solve this crisis but has continued to watch while things fall apart.”
The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, neither responded to calls nor a text message on Friday.
Tracknews reports that Governors Rotimi Akeredolu, Nasir El-Rufai and Kayode Fayemi of Ondo, Kaduna and Ekiti respectively are among those opposed to Buni’s leadership.
