The National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has appointed Yobe State Governor, Mai Mala Buni, as caretaker chairman of the party.
Mr Buni was appointed on Thursday at the NEC virtual meeting which had President Muhammadu Buhari in attendance.
Buni was sworn-in by the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami.
His appointment followed the dissolution of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.
Addressing staff at the party’s national secretariat alongside members of his 13-man caretaker committee, Buni promised fairness to all.
“Party will carry all members along especially the leaders of the APC. Many of them have paid their dues to the party, so we will carry them along,” he said.
“After being two-time national secretary of the party, I can say I know the party very well, I want to assure every APC member that we will do justice to everyone because we have a capable team
“I am a team player and am here to manage a crisis and if you do not manage crisis, crisis will manage you, so without justice there will be no peace, so am ready to do justice to every APC member.
“NEC is the highest organ of the party except the convention, and NEC can function for convention in-between, so any decision taken by NEC is the final decision.”
