The ousted caretaker chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mai Mala Buni, is due in London to confer with President Muhammadu Buhari, it was learnt last night.

Sources said Buni, who was expected to rush back home on Wednesday from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where he went for medical checkup, had a rethink.

“He will now travel to London to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari on the situation in the party,” a source said.

Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami (SAN), it was learnt, had arrived in London also to meet with the President.
Another official listed to meet with the President is Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor Godwin Emefiele.

It could not be confirmed last night whether the CBN governor had arrived in the UK capital.

Ahead of his London trip, there was a leak of Buni’s letter, which faulted Governor Nasir El-Rufai’s narratives on how Buni was removed as chairman of Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CEC).

A source, who spoke in confidence, said the APC crisis has shifted to London with Buni struggling for survival.

The source added: “Instead of coming home, Buni went London to state his own side of the crisis in the party and hear from the President on whether or not he directed that he should leave office. He has also gone there with facts and figures on the situation of the party.

“He has insisted that no verbal or written directive was given to him by the President. He said he cannot depend on third party information. He wants to know his fate directly from the President.

“I think Buni and his backers have succeeded in breaking some protocol barriers to see the President, who has been under pressure to hear the other side to APC crisis.

“Buni confided in some governors and few loyalists that he would clarify a few things in London including court injunction to halt the convention and defiance of presidential directives on the reform of the party.”

In Buni’s letter, the Yobe State governor legally handed over the affairs of the party to Niger State Governor Abubakar Sani Bello before travelling out.

In the letter dated February 28, Buni directed Governor Bello to act in his absence as the chairman of CEC.

A copy of the letter was sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and of CEC.

The letter reads: “This is to please inform you that I will be embarking on a medical trip to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from today, 28th February, 2022.

“In my absence, I hereby transmit the functions of my office as the National Chairman of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CEC) to you.

“This is to enable the committee conclude all arrangements leading to the National Convention slated for March 26th, 2022 and other duties that may be required of the office.

“I invite all to cooperate with Governor Abubakar Sani Bello by extending to him all the that I have enjoyed from you.

“Please do accept the assurances of my best regards.”

However, Sani Bello denied receiving any transfer of authority letter from Buni. Speaking to reporters at the secretariat in Abuja, Sani Bello simply said: “I have not seen it.”

An aide to Buni, who spoke in confidence, said: “Buni couldn’t have been removed by anybody or a group of governors because his letter was explicit. He followed due process and nominated Bello to act for him.”

On Emefiele, a source said: “His mission was to brief the President on developments on the economy, particularly the effect of the Russia-Ukraine war on our earnings as well as the resultant huge subsidy on fuel.”

Another said: “Emefiele might discuss his perceived presidential ambition with Buhari, in view of the Senate’s rejection of President Buhari’s request to amend a section of the new Electoral Act, which precludes appointed officials of government from voting or being voted for at primaries of political parties, unless they resign.”

Malami is expected, according to sources, to discuss some constitutional and legal issues with Buhari.

The Senate’s rejection of a presidential request to review Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act 2022 was said to be a source of concern to the Presidency.

It was learnt that the President and the AGF are likely to weigh options on the Electoral Act in line with the time constraint before the 2023 primaries begin in April.
One of the alternatives being considered was to approach the court for a pronouncement.

The sack of Ebonyi State Governor Dave Umahi by a Federal High Court will also feature because Malami was yet to issue an advisory on the judgment.

Another source added: “The AGF is in London to discuss the implications of the Senate’s rejection of a gentleman’s agreement with the President on Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act. The President needs legal advice on whether or not those in his cabinet and states’ executive councils should resign before the primaries.

“Buhari may rub minds with the AGF on any legal window which the government may explore to file an action in court.

“Some parties are already in court. So, the most important aspect is the implication of any court verdict on Section 84(12) of the Electoral Act on the 2023 general election. We are in dire straits because some Senators claimed that they cannot review the Electoral Act because it will affect the timetable for the 2023 poll.

“Yet, the fear of the President is that some political office holders will be disenfranchised. So, Buhari sees the Electoral Act as a violation of the fundamental human rights of those in political offices.

“Malami, believed to be interested in contesting to be governor of Kebbi State and others like the Minister of Transportation, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, Babatunde Fashola (Works), Uche Ogah (Mines and Steel), Chris Ngige (Labour and Employment), Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu (Science and Technology) and Festus Keyamo (SAN) (Minister of State for Labour and Employment) are affected.

The source added: “The removal of Governor Umahi by a Federal High Court and the dilemma APC is facing on the injunction against its March 26 convention are other legal matters which are sources of concern to the President.

“If the injunction is not vacated, APC cannot hold its National Convention. The party can defy the court by holding the convention and living with the consequences. This is why there is so much anger in the party.

“Since the sack of Umahi, the AGF has not made his position known as the Chief Legal Officer of the Federation. He is in London to share his views before addressing the nation.

“The manner in which Umahi attacked the Judiciary made most APC to be upset with him. The AGF will also offer his advice.”

Hmm Emefiele for President.

The truth is that so many factors didn't qualified Tinubu to become apc presidential candidate.
One of them is be a Muslim and also South West, moreso, be perceived generally as a corrupt man and many more.

Happy conferring

Wasting our resources jetting up and down

Yoruba news coming from the nation

Everything about the news Na “ Source “ .. National daily and we’re meant to believe the sourceless source becomes it comes from Yoruba media

Anyways am not countering .. next we expect names and person like other dailies .. only “ tribune and the nation “ always comes with “ source”

All this propaganda Na Apc .. none of our business
Till Buhari And Buni are back.. Yoruba media will keep sourcing the source with gibberish. While Apc continues planing and plotting the dead of the evil party

For all we care ..
Tinubu Must contest
No excuses

Power to the people !

NASO

The crisis go loooooooong

We all know they have failed.

Are we now ready for real progress?

#omoredia4president2023

Hehehe! So much crisis and trouble brewing up everywhere in APC. These intractable problems does not portends anything good for the polity and country.

Godwin Emefiele for president?

Let's him, he served understand president Goodluck Jonathan ( Joe boy) and president Buhari (touch and kill), he has seen it all and will help us to balance the nation.

By the time President Muhammadu Buhari leaves public office with no access to public funds I am wondering how he is going to bank roll these expensive medical bills.

He has even hidden the cost of the medical treatment from the Nigeria public.

A source, who spoke in confidence, said the APC crisis has shifted to London with Buni struggling for survival.

Failed country, how can everybody travel out of the country to see the President over an issue?

Where exactly is the seat of power?

London or Abuja?

Shameless people, some misguided miscreants are here campaigning for Tinubu another London wee wee President.

One thing is for sure......

They aren't meeting on how to solve the problems of the country but how inflict more hardship

The removal of Governor Umahi by a Federal High Court and the dilemma APC is facing on the injunction against its March 26 convention are other legal matters which are sources of concern to the President.

“If the injunction is not vacated, APC cannot hold its National Convention. The party can defy the court by holding the convention &living with the consequences. This is why there is so much anger in the party.

The manner in which Umahi attacked the Judiciary made most APC to be upset with him. The AGF will also offer his advice.”

Dave Umahi come here.

Alright

Nellum:
To discuss their selfish ambitions

Even countries smaller than Nigeria are developing their economy, building arsenals, growing their strength but all we talk about from year to year is what should be either president or governor and the story recycle itself. So annoying if leaders of a country decides to constantly meet abroad to discuss politics not the growth of the economy.

No one is bother about the fuel crisis, abeg am tire menh

Hmm Emefiele for President.

The truth is that so many factors didn't qualified Tinubu to become apc presidential candidate.
One of them is be a Muslim and also South West, moreso, be perceived generally as a corrupt man and many more.

the truth is that we can't have a Muslim from the south as a president.

Buhari Muslim 8 years.
Tinubu Muslim 8 years, after Tinubu another
Muslim Northerner 8 years

This means Christians must have been denied the chance in the South for 24 years.

This is unacceptable, everything is still pointing to the fact that Tinubu can't be President.

Religion or no religion.... As far as Nigeria is concerned it is what it is!

Religious sentiments counts in Nigeria.

Guess it was reported Buni went on medical leave. They should please allow Mr. President enjoy his vacation. All other issues should wait till next week.

London! Nigeria's satellite campus! Shame to all these leaders.

U people cannot hold meeting with d president here in NIGERIA, or y UK
Just keep spending our money o

They all go to UK or Dubai for medical check ups and you think all this old cargos have plans to resuscitate Nigeria.

Emefiele won't sit his butts down abi? Wetin Wetin concern am with party matter? We CAN'T give that man president.

I pray make Allah scatter dem all

Are these people aware that Nigeria is a sovereign territory?

It's like we are longing for the colonial days.

While India is running away from any historic links with Britain, Nigerian leaders seems to be nostalgic for it.

What is difference between us and francophone countries?

And I am not even talking about the national security implications of having meetings with the president in a foreign land.
