APC Governors Meet In Abuja, Seek Soft Landing For Buni, Others by Kwanza: 7:14am
Governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress have started arriving in Abuja for a meeting on the state of the party.

The meeting, which barring last-minute changes is due to hold on Thursday (today), is aimed at finding a political solution to the challenge posed by the Supreme Court judgment on the Ondo State governorship election.

Some senior party members have argued that a part of the judgment calls to question the continued stay in office of Buni, a serving governor, as Chairman of the Caretaker/ National Convention Planning Committee of the party.

It was gathered that the governors would be discussing how best to give their colleagues “a soft-landing” in a way that would preserve the party’s reputation as well as ensure that the governors would not leave with a feeling that they were used and dumped.

Although neither governors nor members of the Federal Executive Council who are senior lawyers have reached a consensus on the issue, multiple party sources who spoke to our correspondent in confidence tilted towards “saving the party first.”

A high ranking party source told The PUNCH, “There are as many views as there are lawyers in the cabinet and in the party. Just like the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo (SAN) argues that the party should halt further activities and effect changes in leadership, people like the Attorney General of the Federation and our party’s lead counsel in the Ondo case, Niyi Akintola (SAN), maintain the view that the party leadership has no reason to nurse any fear because no law has been breached.”

As of Wednesday, the governors who had arrived Abuja for the meeting included Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano), Abubakar Badaru (Jigawa), Sani Bello (Niger), Ondo, Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), Mai Mala Buni (Yobe) and Abubakar Bagudu (Kebbi).

Attempts to get an official response to enquiries about the meeting from the Director General of the Progressives Governors Forum, Dr. Salihu Lukman were futile. Calls to his mobile telephone number were neither picked nor returned as at 9:14 pm

Recall that The PUNCH had on Wednesday reported that after a meeting attended by the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the APC state governors and other stakeholders on Friday night, the party leaders started considering the removal of Buni as caretaker committee chairman and other governors, who are members of the panel.

Apart from Buni, who is the Governor of Yobe State, other governors, who are members of the committee, are Sani Bello of Niger State, who is representing the North-Central and his Osun State counterpart, Isiaka Oyetola, who represents the South-West.

They are just looking for somebody from the ANPP or CPC block to take over. Past Chairmen, Odigie-Oyegun & Oshiomhole came from the ACN. Buni was ANPP.

It is not a personal opinion actually.there is no record or copy of the majority judgment because they actually adopted the appeal court ruling entirely just like in the case of atiku vs buhari where the supreme court adopted the appeal judgment

the issues raised, revolved around Mala Buni. But, Mala Buni, who is at the centre of the dispute was not made party to the petition. It is obvious that the determination of the said issues will affect him.

“Therefore, the court below was right to have held that he was a necessary party to this suit. Failure to join him renders the determination of the matter impossible. To proceed to do so would have violated the fair trial of the case.

“Therefore, we affirm the lower court that the petitioner was incompetent.

“There is no dispute that the third and fourth respondents (Akeredolu and Aiyedatiwa) were nominated by the second respondent (APC) as its candidates for the election; that the second respondent submitted their names to the first respondent (INEC) as its candidates, in accordance with Section 31(1) of the Electoral Act.

“They were therefore sponsored by the second in accordance with Section 177(c) of the Constitution (1999). It is not in dispute that Mai Mala Buni is acting as the National Chairman of the second respondent,” he said.

Justice Agim held that the decision to allow Buni act as its National Committee Chairman (in the interim) was made by the APC, despite the provision of Article 1z(4 of its constitution, thereby making the decision internal to the party.

He added: “The second respondent (APC) allowed him (Buni) to be its Chairman in the interim in spite of Article 17 of its constitution.

The vires of this decision of the party is non-justiciable. This appeal fails and it is hereby dismissed,” he said.

He, however, rejected the cross-appeals by INEC, APC, Akeredolu and Aiyedatiwa and faulted their claims that the issue of sponsorship/qualification was a pre-election matter that could only be raised before the election

Appeal Court agreed that some of the appeal was meritorious (Buni acting as Chairman) but stated that Buni wasn't a Party to the suit.

Hence, the appeal was partly dismissed and partly upheld.

If the SC took it from the Appeal Court.....
“Therefore, the court below was right to have held that he was a necessary party to this suit. Failure to join him renders the determination of the matter impossible.....Partly dismissed.

Section 183......Partly Allowed.

The SC decided it by fine margins. The tribunal said it is internal because it could not touch the matter. The tribunal doesn't have the jurisdiction.

No,the appeal court basically decided it and the supreme agreed.if you read justice agim's submission again,you will see that joining governor buni is not even a guarantee that they would have ruled against apc.
Again,we have not seen the appeal court full copy so we will make do from what prof tahir presented

The Appeal Court handled it... The lead judgement did not oppose the Appeal Court's position while the dissenting hammered on it. APC only won on technicality.

We cannot make do with what Tahir said because he is an interested Party. He is a member of the APC-CECPC and not a Judge. Buni leaving that seat won't favour him.

He wants to remain in his Office "to chop."


Seven Justices of the Apex Court had held that Buni’s position as an incumbent executive governor and also as executive Chairman of APC at the same time contradicts and violates the constitution of Nigeria and that of the party.

The revelation by the Supreme Court emanated in the judgment on the appeal marked: SC/448/21; including the cross-appeals marked: SC/501/21; SC/508/21 and SC/509/21.

Justices Emmanuel Agim, John Okoro, Lawal Garba, Tijani Abubakar, Mary Peter-Odili, Ejembi Eko and Mohammed Saulawa gave the judgement in Abuja.

They said the position of the law in the appeal filed before them by the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the Ondo election, Eyitayo Jegede SAN in which they challenged the competence of Oluwarotimi Akeredolu’s nomination/sponsorship for the election by the APC, claiming that the letter conveying his nomination/sponsorship to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was incompetent, having been signed by Buni and others.

Jegede and PDP contended that by the provision of Section 183 of the 1999 Constitution and Article 17 (4) of the APC constitution, Buni acted unlawfully by being the Yobe Governor and also serving as APC’s Chairman at the same time.

The two appellants had argued that as such, the nomination/sponsorship letter signed by governor Buni for APC, notifying INEC of the candidacy of Akeredolu and Lucky Aiydatiwa (as governorship and deputy governorship candidates) was void.

The apex court Justices after their finding of facts agreed that the law prohibits a person from holding two executive offices as in that of a governor and chairmanship of a political party in Nigeria at the same time.

Four of the Justices, however, on technical grounds declined to remove Akeredolu as Ondo governor on the ground that Mai Mala Buni’s name was not expressly stated on the appellants’ papers for him to defend himself.

Other three Justices held contrary decisions stating that since APC’s name was on the court process and its letter paper used in conveying the incompetent nomination, Akeredolu ought and should be removed from office.

Justice Emmanuel Agim read the lead majority judgment of the four justices which was supported by Justices John Okoro, Lawal Garba and Tijani Abubakar.

Justice Agim held that, since Jegede and the PDP made Buni the centre of their allegation of constitutional breaches, he (Buni) ought to have been made a party in the case to enable him to defend himself in line with the doctrine of fair hearing.

This is just a legal personal opinion of an interested selfish member of the caretaker committee. Nothing more!

Anybody that truly loves the APC needs to drop their selfish interest at this point and do the needful. Buni should be dropped immediately there's no time for all this useless argument.

Proceeding with this buni led caretaker committee is a dangerous game. Well maybe God wants to punish the APC for destroying what's left of Nigeria.
