…Buni cries foul, seeks arrest of sponsors for treasonable felony.
By Omeiza Ajayi, Abuja
The crisis of leadership in the ruling All Progressives Congress APC took a turn for the worse on Monday following the purported disbandment of the Gov. Mai Mala Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee CECPC by one of the support groups in the party, the Progressive Youth Movement PYM.
Consequently, the movement named its leader, Prince Mustapha Audu as Chairman of the new CECPC with a mandate to conduct the party’s national convention on February 26..
The youths also named Senate President, Ahmad Lawan and House Speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila into the new CECPC as representatives of the National Assembly.
However, Gov. Buni immediately fired back, asking for the arrest Audi and his co-travellers for treasonable felony.
Mustapha is the son of a former governor of Kogi state and late chieftain of the party, Prince Abubakar Audu.
Since it came into power in 2015, the APC has always broken into factions ahead of the general elections.
