The governor of Yobe and chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) caretaker committee, Mai Mala Buni has returned to Nigeria following a medical trip abroad.
Buni returned to the country on Thursday and takes over the affairs of the party.
Mamman Mohammed, director general of press and media relations, announced the governor’s return.
The Yobe governor charged APC members to support the party ahead of its March 26 national convention, while encouraging them to shun issues capable of preventing the party from success.
“Put the recent events in the party behind you and work towards a successful convention,” Buni was quoted as saying.
“The success of the party remains paramount and needs the support of every member.
“As we head towards the national convention, the party needs the support of every stakeholder and member to succeed.
As democrats and committed party members, we should avoid issues that are capable of diverting our attention from the path of success.”
On March 7, Abubakar Sani Bello, governor of Niger, took over as the acting chairman of the APC.
Afterwards, reports flow out that the Buni-led caretaker committee was working to scuttle the APC national convention.
Days later, Bello reorganised the sub-committees for the convention set up by Buni and reduced the number to 107, saying they were too many.
