Supporters of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo yesterday stormed the National Secretariat of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja, to demand the extension of the tenure of the Gov. Mai Mala Buni-led APC Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.
Under the platform of Buhari/Osinbajo Dynamic Support Group, the group took their solidarity walk to the secretariat bearing placards with various inscriptions in support of the Caretaker Committee.
Some of the inscriptions on the placards read: “Mai Mala-led Committee, best choice to reposition the party’, ‘Support the current reforms in the APC’, ‘We support APC transformation for a better tomorrow’ among others.
The Buni’s committee was inaugurated in June, 2020, and saddled with the responsibility of administering the party’s affairs and to organise a national convention within six months following the dissolution of the Adams Oshiomhole led National Working Committee (NWC).
Speaking with newsmen during the solidarity rally, the group’s National Coordinator Usman Ibrahim cautioned party members against threatening the committee over planned tenure extension.
APC’s Director of Administration, Suleiman Abubakar, who received the group on behalf of the party, promised that the Caretaker Committee would not disappoint the party assuring that it will prepare the party for victory ahead of the 2023 general elections.
