The presidency should also call him to order to immediately drop the plan to convey a NEC meeting without the knowledge of Governor Mai Mala Buni and the secretary of the CECPC. “The likes of Governor Bello are the political vultures working against our party and to cause anarchy in the ruling APC. “Governor Sani Bello is neither the chairman nor secretary of the National Caretaker Committee.
