Imo - Honourable Daniel Nwafor, the chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Imo, has challenged the fact that Mai Mala Buni is still the interim chairman of the party's caretaker committee as a governor.
Claiming that the Yobe governor has nothing to offer the party as the chairman of the committee, Nwafor on Friday, February 4, called on him to resign his position and return to governance in his state.
The Imo APC boss requested that Buni organise a credible national convention for the party and afterward go back to Yobe and remain there as governor, adding that he is against any extension of his tenure, New Telegraph reports.
He alleged that Buni is instigating problems in the party by spreading rumours of extension of his term in office.

His words:
“Of course, I’m totally against any extension for Buni. Governor Mai Mala Buni should organise a credible convention for our party and go and manage his Yobe State
“He cannot be a governor and continue to operate as a caretaker committee chairman of the party forever
“Buni should stop instigating problems in our party. He is the one sponsoring these rumours of extension. There is nothing left for him to do in the party. He has created more problems in the different state chapters than he met when he assumed office. And as a matter of fact, there are no formal provisions for continuous extension of the Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee.”
