Don’t destroy platform that made you, APC caretaker chairman pleads with aggrieved chieftains

Yobe State governor and Chairman of the All Progressives Congress Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Mai Mala Buni, has pleaded with aggrieved chieftains of the party not to pull down the platform that brought them to the political limelight.

Governor Buni gave the admonition on Thursday while inaugurating the Party State Congress Appeal Committees.
Checks revealed that parallel State Congresses were conducted last weekend in some states in the federation. The process was aborted in Taraba and Oyo State.

While there are pending lawsuits in Delta State, certain chieftains have since initiated Court action in Osun State.
Governor Buni who was represented at the event by the national secretary of the APC CECPC, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, expressed concern that crises would only undermine the fortune of the ruling party in forthcoming general elections.

He restated his advice to chieftains who felt shortchanged to make use of the appeal committees to seek redress while appealing to the Committees to be fair to all vested interests.

He said: “In a bid to provide development to our people, this party has afforded many of our party faithful, the platform to attain various positions, either elected or appointed, it will still do so for many others going forward. Hence, all true party men and women must see dissensions within the party as family disputes and should not seek to destroy the platform which helped them in times past.

“As a party, we shall ensure that channels of communication are kept open, as in the instant case and as dictated by the constitution of our party. “This Appeals Committee is part of the internal mechanisms so that those who may feel dissatisfied with the States Congresses can approach the Committee and ventilate their grievances through this avenue.

“It is elementary law that he who alleges must prove, so instead of taking issues to the media space, let them put forward their case before this Appeals Committee.

“I urge you all to ensure that fair hearing and justice be your guiding principles in the task entrusted to you.

“You all were carefully selected based on your proven track record of integrity and capacity to deliver. The party trusts in your ability to bring to bear on this task, your incredible credentials.”
