APC in Jeopardy Over Buni’s Continued Stay as National Chair

*Uba’s candidacy in Anambra uncertainWednesday’s Supreme Court judgement in the Ondo State governorship election might have opened the pandora’s box within the All Progressives Congress and exposed the ruling party to a bleak political future.

Expectedly, this development had immediately divided the stakeholders in the APC over Buni’s continued stay, both as national chairman of the party and governor of Yobe State. And despite the party’s seeming attempt to brush off the grave implications of the judgment, top echelons of the APC are worried of the potential minefield it has set itself up against.

Already, the APC in Zamfara State has taken the party to court asking it to declare as illegal, the fact that Buni has continued to combine the two of offices of governor and national chairman being executive positions, adding that it contravened both the constitution of APC and the country, the 1999 constitution as amended.

“The NEC of the party can urgently meet and consider and reconstitute the CECPC to exclude, not only Governor Buni, but anyone holding any executive position in any government establishment as stipulated in Article 17 of the APC Constitution,” Keyamo said. “Accordingly, in view of the impending ward, local government, states and zonal congresses and indeed the national convention , it is our view that the ward and other congresses scheduled for July 31, 2021 be paused, suspended and put on hold pending the determination of the legal status of the CECPC to undertake all the activities it so far has, and indeed jurisdiction to conduct the congresses and convention.

“Finally, this being a Supreme Court judgement, we should be thankful that it has come very early that it will guide our Party to victory in 2023 as we mind carefully the legal Status of our systems, guiding us on avoidable actions as we approach the 2023 tape to brace successfully,” the statement read.

“It is, therefore, disingenuous, unsound and mischievous to attempt to misinform the reading public of what was not the ratio decidendi of the judgment of the court. Even if the apex court had considered the provisions of Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution, the majority panel would still have dismissed the appeal.
