APC Crisis: ‘Desperate people out to procure court injunction against Buni’

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Youth Development and Solidarity Network has alleged that some people are desperately out to procure a court injunction against the APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee under Governor Mai Mala Buni. 

The group claimed a whopping N5 Billion has been earmarked for the purpose.

Speaking at a press conference in Abuja, the group led by Tobias Ogbeh, Secretary-General said the plan is aimed at causing an uprising within the APC and the country at large in pursuit of an ambition built on the quest for power through the back door.

Ogbeh said: “As we may be aware, some governors within the party have attempted to change the leadership of the APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee under Governor Mai Mala Buni.

“As despicable as this might sound, there has been an attempt at effecting a change in the leadership of the party, not on the strength of the interest of the party, but in furtherance of a blind ambition towards taking over the party structure through the back door in the buildup to the 2023 general elections.

“We wish to state that we have it on good authority that since the humiliation suffered by the sponsors of the failed leadership change in the party, there have been concerted efforts to use the instrument of the court to achieve their objective of effecting a change in the leadership of the party.

“We wish to inform all APC stakeholders and members of the general public that part of the new plot is to secure a court judgement through the back door that would sack the party’s leadership from office.

“The scheme, which is heavily funded by a serving Minister and presidential aspirant from the South-south, has earmarked close to N5 billion for this purpose.

“We have credible information that the overarching plot is to cause an embarrassment to President Muhammadu Buhari, who from all indications was not in support of the leadership change and never gave his blessings as been speculated in the media by the brains behind the despicable plot,” he said.
