JUST IN: Buni Drops Lai Mohammed, Switches Ganduje, Sanwo-Olu in Fresh Convention Sub-committee Appointments
By Kabir Akintayo
Governor of Yobe state and chairman caretaker extraordinary convention planning committee, Mai Mala Buni, has abandoned Governor Sani Bello’s convention Sub-committees list, and made fresh appointments into the Sub-committees.
This is coming after President Muhammadu Buhari approved the legitimacy of Buni, directing governors to stop further attacks.
Acting chairman Sani Bello had already compiled list of sub-committees for the convention and some chairmen of the sub committees had already swung into action.
Governor Ganduje who was the chairman sub-committee protocol had already approved 250 ushers and commenced training.
He has also removed other members of the CECPC from the Central Coordinating sub-committee, naming only himself and CECPC National Secretary, Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, as Chairman and Secretary of the sub-committees respectively.
With the new appointments made, Ganduje will now be heading accreditation of volunteers, diplomats, diaspora and observer.
Also, Governor Sanwo-Olu is now the chairman Media and Publicity, while Femi Fani Kayode has now been reappointed as Deputy Chairman of the subcommittee as opposed to Bello’s list which had named the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, as co-Chairman.
The approved Sub-Committees are to begin work immediately
