…It was resolved by court – Secretary
Senator Kabiru Marafa has asked the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to sack the Governor Mai Mala Buni-led caretaker committee over alleged false claim.
The committee had at the end of its meeting on Tuesday in Abuja, claimed that it resolved the crises in Bauchi, Bayelsa, Cross River, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Zamfara, Ondo and Oyo states chapters.
But reacting in a statement on Thursday, Marafa, a former governorship aspirant who is leading a faction of the party in the state, said the committee has not done anything since its inception to resolve the crisis in Zamfara.
The Buni-led Caretaker Committee was constituted in June 2020 to run the party and organise a national convention within six months following the dissolution of the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee (NWC) by NEC over alleged abuse of office.
Marafa said the Buni-led committee has lost its integrity and its members should therefore resign or be sacked.
He argued that the two factions of the party in Zamfara State were still existing and operating parallel secretariats in Gusau, the state capital and across the 14 local government areas of the state.
He said, “This ungodly claim by the committee would only worsen the crisis of the party in the state,” adding that his camp will fight for its rights and the rights of average Zamfara APC members.
But Secretary of the APC Caretaker Committee, John James Akpanudoedehe, told our correspondent in a telephone chat that a court of competent jurisdiction had resolved the crisis in the Zamfara State chapter of the party, adding that the party was only ensuring that there was no victor, no vanquished.
