Mai Mala Buni

All Progressives Congress have decided to zone the chairmanship of the party to the North Central  while   the National Secretary position of the APC goes  to the South-East as revealed by a top Chieftain in the party.

He further revealed that the office of the deputy national chairman is expected to go to the South-South, adding that the party will be alternating other positions in the plan February national convention. 

The APC chieftain further disclosed that positions mounted by the Southerners in the National Working Committee of the party will be going to the Northerners, vice versa.

“Discussions are ongoing. So far, we have agreed that the North-Central will take the national chairmanship position while the South-South will take the national deputy chairman (South) and then the South-East will get the national secretary position.

“Also, the plan is that all positions that the North occupied in the last NWC will now be occupied by the South. Of course, everyone who wants to contest has the right to do so but this is the plan for now. Other positions will be determined in due course.” He said.

The APC is widely expected to set up sub-committees that will handle several aspects of the convention, from publicity, budget, security and logistics.

The members of the caretaker committee met in Abuja on Tuesday but discussions were yet to be finalised as they agreed to meet again on Wednesday. 


After it had appeared that the party was not making headway due to internal crisis, on Tuesday, the Chairman, Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee and Governor of Yobe State, Mai Mala Buni, announced that the APC national convention will hold on February 26, 2022.

Buni, who stated this on Tuesday while delivering his keynote address at the Progressives Women Congress held in Abuja declined stating the venue of the convention.

In his message to delegates, Buni urged women to gun for public offices saying the APC is the most friendly women party in Nigeria.

“You remain the best mobilisers of support to any political party and its candidates. You have always been there in the queue on election days to determine the fate of candidates. With this, we are confident of winning the 2023 general elections with huge success.

“Let me assure you that the party shall not forget this gesture by supporting women and youths for their political aspirations and to realise their political dreams.

"We look forward to having more women contesting in the forthcoming national convention of the party on February 26, 2022, and the general elections.”

He urged women to enlighten their relatives and the larger society that elections are not do or die affair

“As we approach the convention, and draw closer to the general elections, I wish to remind you of your Progressives roles and supporting progressive minded leaders aspiring for various offices for the betterment of our country.

“We should promote peaceful elections and service delivery against personal gains. Let me once again assure, that APC will continue to support you and support you generously,” Buni said.

Biden announces free internet for millions of Americans

  President Biden announced Monday that his administration has reached an agreement with 20 internet providers — including AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon — to provide discounted high-speed internet service to low-income Americans, The Washington Post reports. "Over the last few months, my administration has worked closely with internet providers — this is a case where big business stepped up — urging them to cut their prices and raise their speeds. I'm trying to get others to do the same thing with inflation, but these guys are the best," Biden said in the Rose Garden on Monday, drawing laughs with the last line. Biden has repeatedly blamed high inflation rates on corporate greed. "So now," he continued, "families who are eligible can select a plan from a participating provider and receive high-speed internet at no cost in most cases." The plan will cover some 48 million households and, when combined with existing federal subsidies, make internet servi...
