In a last ditch effort to save the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC from the brink, President Muhammadu Buhari, has waded into the leadership crisis ravaging the party after various leaders took the battle for the soul of the APC to London where he is receiving medication.

Now, embattled National Chairman of the Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, CECPC, Governor Mai Mala Buni of Yobe State, will conduct the March 26 National Convention.

This was one of the decisions the president took, weekend, sources at the various meetings in London.

While Buni was on a medical vacation in Dubai after transferring headship of the CECPC to Niger State Governor, Sani Bello, Buni’s alleged sack gained currency in the party, last week. Bello sought to summon a meeting of the National Executive Committee, NEC, for next Thursday.

However, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, refused to acknowledge him as the chairman of the party, insisting that letters from the APC to the commission must be signed by Buni and Senator John James Akpanudoedehe, the CECPC secretary.

It also said the party must give it 21 days notice as required by law to monitor its national convention.

With some APC governors including Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna State and other stakeholders accusing Buni and some members of the CECPC of plotting not to hold the convention and allegedly obtaining a court order to restrain the APC from conducting the convention, the stage for the battle to be taken to London was set.
