Mr Mohammed said that Mr Buni appealed to all party members to remain calm and law-abiding.
Put the recent events in the party behind you and work towards a successful Convention.
“The success of the party remain paramount and needs the support of every member.
“As we head towards the National Convention, the party needs the support of every stakeholder and member to succeed.

He expressed gratitude to President Muhammadu Buhari for the amicable resolution of recent misunderstanding in the party.
We appreciate the good leadership role played by Mr President in resolving the recent events to keep a united and strong APC,” he said.
Mr Buni said that all actions taken by the APC CECPC under Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger, who was the acting chairman, remained valid and binding.
