    APC crisis: Fmr DG of Progressives Govs Forum identifies alleged ‘civilian coup’ plotters trying to destabilize convention

    …points accusation finger at Govs Bello, Uzodinma, Abiodun

    …demands probe of their involvement

    A former Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), Dr Salihu Lukman, has identified Governors Yahaya Bello, Hope Uzodimma and Dapo Abiodun of allegedly plotting with Mai Mala Buni in the destabilization of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

    TheNewsGuru.com, (TNG) recalls the ruling party has been in an oscillating mode to conduct a convention without end.

    To worsen the already not too good situation with the party, INEC on Thursday turned down an invitation to conduct the party’s NEC meeting declaring that only Buni and his secretary are qualified to conduct such an emergency NEC.

    But the ex-DG in a statement on Friday without mincing words declared there are identified collaborators with Buni plotting to bring APC to its kneels.

    He warned that the APC stands on the path of losing the next election because of the crisis already crippling its capacity to hold a national convention to elect substantive party officials.

    Lukman stressed that anyone who loves Mai Mala Buni should be more worried about protecting his honour as a political leader by ensuring that he doesn’t become a letdown who stands opposed to the majority decisions of party leaders and members.

    He said if Mai Mala Buni shares the vision of all the founding leaders of the party, he would be willing to make every personal sacrifice to demonstrate his support for the decisions of the party.

    Lukman contrasted Mai Mala Buni to ex-leaders of the APC including Chief Bisi Akande, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu, Chief Tony Momoh of blessed memory, Chief John Oyegun and Adams Oshiomhole

    His words: “There are known collaborators of His Excellency Mai Mala who have colluded with him to ensure that all attempts to organise the APC National Convention are blocked.

    “Three Governors who are known and must also be called upon to account for their roles in undermining decisions to organise the APC National Convention are His Excellency Yahaya Bello of Kogi State, His Excellency Hope Uzodinma of Imo State and His Excellency Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State.

    “There are other party leaders, including Sen Uzo Kalu who have actively supported His Excellency Mai Mala to undermine the decision to organise the National Convention of the party.”

    Lukman stressed that the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for March 17 should initiate processes of a disciplinary hearing in line with provisions of the APC Constitution to sanction all these leaders if found guilty.
