Mai Mala Buni and his co-travellers have been working overtime to sabotage the March 26 national convention of the party, says ex-DG
A former Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Dr Salihu Lukman, has accused Governors Yahaya Bello, Hope Uzodimma and Dapo Abiodun of colluding with Mai Mala Buni in the destabilization of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Mai Mala Buni is the embattled Chairman of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the APC.
But the Governor of Niger State announced taking over from Mai Mala Buni on the ground that the Mai Mala Buni led CECPC has no plans of conducting the March 26 national convention of the APC.

Lukman in a statement issued Friday warned that the APC stands on the path of losing the next election because of the crisis already crippling its capacity to hold a national convention to elect substantive party officials.
Lukman stressed that anyone who loves Mai Mala Buni should be more worried about protecting his honour as a political leader by ensuring that he doesn’t become a letdown who stands opposed to the majority decisions of party leaders and members.
He said if Mai Mala Buni shares the vision of all the founding leaders of the party, he would be willing to make every personal sacrifice to demonstrate his support for the decisions of the party.
Lukman contrasted Mai Mala Buni to ex-leaders of the APC including Chief Bisi Akande, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Chief Tony Momoh of blessed memory, Chief John Oyegun and Adams Oshiomhole
His words: “There are known collaborators of His Excellency Mai Mala who have colluded with him to ensure that all attempts to organise the APC National Convention are blocked.
“Three Governors who are known and must also be called upon to account for their roles in undermining decisions to organise the APC National Convention are His Excellency Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, His Excellency Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and His Excellency Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.
“There are other party leaders, including Sen Uzo Kalu who have actively supported His Excellency Mai Mala to undermine the decision to organise the National Convention of the party.”
Lukman stressed that the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for March 17 should initiate processes of a disciplinary hearing in line with provisions of the APC Constitution to sanction all these leaders if found guilty.
