By Kabir Akintayo
The Chairman, caretaker extraordinary convention planning committee (CECPC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mai Mala Buni, has canceled the ‘purported’ National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party slated for Thursday.
This is coming after a directive from President Muhammadu Buhari to the party hierarchy to recognize Governor Buni and stop further inflammatory remarks.

Mai Mala Buni, a purported emergency meeting of the Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) slated for Thursday, March 16, 2022 is hereby cancelled.”
