Buni’s appointment as APC chairman, violation of party constitution – Marafa

Published on July 4, 2021By Khaleel Muhammad


Former Senator representing Zamfara Central Senatorial District, Kabir Marafa, has said appointing Mai Mala Buni as caretaker chairman of the All Progresive Congress (APC) is against the constitution of the party.


Marafa stated this in an interview with Arise Television over Buni’s proclamation that Zamfara State Governor, Alhaji Bello Mohammed Matawalle is the leader of the party in the state following his defection from the People’s Democratic party (PDP).

He said Buni as the caretaker chairman of APC does not have the power to make such a pronouncement.

“It is better for APC to let the sleeping dog lie.

“Time will come we are going to challenge even his legality of him been a Chairman of APC

“When you look at APC constitution especially section 17, sub 4 it prevented him from becoming APC chairman, so we are going to ask the question when the need arises,” he said.

Marafa explained that Matawalle can never continue to be the Governor after his defection.

“Based on the ruling of the Supreme Court, APC cannot have a Governor, Members of House of Representatives or state House of Assembly.

“The judgment made by the Supreme Court says APC ought not to participate in the 2019 election in Zamfara State, that means there was no APC at all.


“So every attempt by anybody to say that he is a Governor of APC between 2019 to 2023 without reason of death or resignation is challenging the ruling of Supreme Court.

“So please APC all Zamfara people are saying be fair and just to us,” he said.

Marafa said the APC should not interfere because doing that will ignite serious problems that can spell doom for the party.

According to APC constitution an elected officer can't double as the Caretaker Chairman of the Party!

Surely the elections under him is a waste of time.

Headline no complete

PDP just finished saying it.

Now Marafa has reiterated same thing.

That Mai Mala Buni is illegally occupying the APC’s chairmanship position.

Except that Nigerian judiciary is in APC pocket, everything APC has done since Buni became chairman should be a nullity.

And that should include their upcoming convention if he supervises it, then it would amount to nudum patum because the supervisors shouldn’t have been supervisors in the first place and therefore had no locus standi to conduct whatever they conducted.

If the Supreme Court can muster the balls, APC has technically knocked itself off the 2023 race in all the states of the federation.

Buni is a wrong move by the ruling party

Pdp should go to court against matawalle to reclaim their mandate pdp gave him power not apc
