The new Caretaker Committee Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Mai Mala Buni, has assured members of the party that he will do justice on all issues rocking the boat of the party and bring succour to members.

Buni, Yobe State Governor and a former APC National Secretary described the committee as a capable team to deliver the job.

“After being two-time national Secretary of the party, I can say, I know the party very well.apc

“I want to assure every APC member that we will do justice to every one, because we have a capable team.

“I am a team player and am here to manage a crisis, and if you do not manage crisis, crisis will manage you.

“So, without justice, there will be no peace; so, am ready to do justice to every APC member,” the chairman said.

According to him, NEC is the highest organ of the party, except the convention, and NEC can function for convention in-between, so any decision taken by NEC is the final decision.

“NEC has directed that every member in court should withdraw his suit.

“Party will carry all members along, especially the leaders of the APC.

“Many of them have paid their dues to the party, so we will carry them along,” Buni said.

Buni, also the Governor of Yobe, made the pledge on Thursday while speaking with newsmen in Abuja.

The APC National Executive Committee (NEC) had on Thursday dissolved the party’s National Working Committee (NWC).

It set up Buni-led Caretaker Committee to organise a National Convention that would reset the party.

The decision was taken at an emergency meeting of the party’s NEC held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
