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.

“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.
