The Governor of Ebonyi, David Umahi on Thursday insisted that his counterpart in Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni remains the Caretaker Chairman of the All Progressives Congress.
Umahi made this claim while threatening to deal with members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state.
He further stated that there is no crisis in the ruling party, as he called on members of the party to dispel the report that the party is divided.
Umahi disclosed that Buni went on medical leave and they were three when he asked the Governor of Niger State, Sani Bello to act for him.
He said, “We are battle-ready. This is not about the Governor of Ebonyi State; Nigerians are fighting for us. I want to thank the National Chairman of APC.
“And let me tell you that there is no division in APC. The chairman went on medical leave. And we were there when he asked the governor of Niger State, Mr Bello, to act for him.
“If there will be change, it will be notified. But for now, there is no change, and there is no crack.
“It is the PDP that is doing everything to destroy this country. But let me tell you, the attention of our party, the APC, has been drawn to all their antics, why they are misleading this country.”
This is coming after a Federal High Court in Abuja sacked Umahi, and his Deputy, Eric Kelechi Igwe, over their defection from the PDP to APC.
