Men of the Security agencies have cordoned the national secretariat of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Nation’s Capital;Abuja, preventing staff and party members, and members of the public from gaining access. Access roads leading to the secretariat have also been closed. This latest development, is not unconnected with reports suggesting that President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the immediate removal of chairman of the party’s national caretaker committee and Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni. According reports, Niger State governor, Sani Bello, had been asked to take over party affair in the interim. However, secretary of the national caretaker committee, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, in reaction to the reports denied any change of leadership in the party, describing it as fake news. He stated in a statement: “Our attention has been drawn to sponsored media reports on an imaginary leadership change in the All Progressives Congress (APC) Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC).” “The media report is fake news and should be disregarded. The APC is a progressive political party guided by rules. Leadership changes are not announced by ‘sources’ through name dropping in the media.
