Represented by John Akpanudoedehe, the national secretary of the caretaker/extraordinary convention planning committee (CECPC), Mai Mala-Buni was visibly absent at the inauguration ceremony.
In addition, two major states in the northern region of the country - Kano and Sokoto - were excluded from the process.
Although there are insinuations that crisis and court cases in both states could have played a major role in the exclusion, the party is yet to make its reasons public.
