JUST IN: Buni Visits Buhari in UK + Details Of The Meeting [PHOTOS]
Mai Mala Buni, governor of Yobe, has paid a visit to President Muhammadu Buhari in the United Kingdom.
Buhari had left Nigeria for the UK on March 6 for a medical checkup.
The Yobe governor, who was in charge of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caretaker committee before Abubakar Sani Bello, governor of Niger, took over, is said to be on a medical trip abroad.
Buni was said to have written a letter to the committee requesting a leave of absence, but Bello had denied receiving such a letter.
According to one of his aides, the Yobe state Governor and Buhari “had a brief and fruitful discussion on measures to move APC forward preparatory to the national convention and the 2023 General election”.
He also added that Buni “is expected back to Nigeria tomorrow, Thursday, to resume office as the Chairman APC Caretaker Committee”.
APC has insisted that it would be going ahead with the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting slated for Thursday.
The spokesperson of the party and the National Youth Leader of the party, Ismaeel Ahmed, stated this while briefing journalists at the end of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) held at the party secretariat yesterday in Abuja.
