The Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni has expressed his intention to take over as Caretaker Chairman of the All Progressives Congress once he returns from his medical trip in Dubai.
The intention of Buni was revealed in a leaked letter he forwarded to the Governor of Niger State, Sani Bello whom he handed over to before his trip.
The letter which was dated February 28, 2022, was addressed to Governor Bello and other members of the caretaker committee before his departure.
Buni in the letter had willingly transmitted power to Bello following his medical leave.
The letter read in part, “This is to inform you that I will be embarking on a medical trip to the United Arab Emirates from today, February 28, 2022. I will resume office upon my discharge from the hospital.
“In my absence, I hereby transmit the functions of my office as the National Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee to you. This is to enable the committee to conclude all arrangements leading to the national convention slated for March 26, 2022, and other duties that may be required of the office.
“I invite all members to cooperate with Governor Abubakar Sani Bello by extending to him all the support that I have enjoyed from you.”
