The meeting was presided over by Mai Mala Buni, Executive Governor of Yobe State who double as the Chairman of the APC Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, and his Jigawa state counterpart, Alh. Abubakar Badaru, as well as other key stakeholders, in Abuja.

The meeting was part of the party’s efforts to reconcile disgruntled members ahead of the upcoming National Convention.

The Buni committee is determined to resolve outstanding issues in order to present a more united front at the convention.

Both Ganduje- and Shekarau-led faction of the APC held parallel party congress, resulting in the formation of two warring factions in the state.

Governor Ganduje initially mocked Shekarau’s faction at the start of the twist of events, calling them names, before lately making a U-turn and openly called for reconciliation.
