Buni, Malami, Emefiele Set To Visit With Buhari In UK

Mai Mala Buni, the governor of Yobe State, is due to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari in London, United Kingdom, to discuss the APC’s management problem.

The beleaguered APC leader was supposed to return to Nigeria on Wednesday following his medical vacation to Dubai, according to the Nation, but he changed his mind.

Abubakar Malami, the Minister of Justice and Attorney-General of the Federation, has touched down in London to interact with President Buhari, according to reports.

The Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, is another figure due to arrive in London.

It was unclear whether the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria had landed in London to meet with the President or not.

“Instead of coming home, Buni went London to state his own side of the crisis in the party and hear from the President on whether or not he directed that he should leave office. He has also gone there with facts and figures on the situation of the party.

“He has insisted that no verbal or written directive was given to him by the President. He said he cannot depend on third party information. He wants to know his fate directly from the President.

“I think Buni and his backers have succeeded in breaking some protocol barriers to see the President, who has been under pressure to hear the other side to APC crisis.

“Buni confided in some governors and few loyalists that he would clarify a few things in London including court injunction to halt the convention and defiance of presidential directives on the reform of the party.”
