APC Crisis: Buni, Malami, Emefiele To Meet With Buhari In UK
The Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, is expected to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari in London, the United Kingdom over the leadership crisis in the All Progressives Congress.
According to the Nation, sources revealed that the embattled APC leader was expected to return to Nigeria on Wednesday after his medical trip to Dubai, but he changed his mind.
A source said, “He will now travel to London to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari on the situation in the party.”
It was stated that the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami has arrived in London to also meet with President Buhari.
Another official believed to be traveling to London is the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor, Godwin Emefiele.
It could not be confirmed whether the CBN governor had arrived in London to meet with the President.
A source said, “Instead of coming home, Buni went London to state his own side of the crisis in the party and hear from the President on whether or not he directed that he should leave office. He has also gone there with facts and figures on the situation of the party.
“He has insisted that no verbal or written directive was given to him by the President. He said he cannot depend on third party information. He wants to know his fate directly from the President.
“I think Buni and his backers have succeeded in breaking some protocol barriers to see the President, who has been under pressure to hear the other side to APC crisis.
“Buni confided in some governors and few loyalists that he would clarify a few things in London including court injunction to halt the convention and defiance of presidential directives on the reform of the party.”
