Recall that Bello just took over the role of national chairman after President Muhammadu Buhari removed Mai Mala Buni over allegations of malfeasance and other unnamed infractions.
President Buhari, Prime Business Africa gathered, had cut short his planned medical trip to London and returned from Kenya on Friday to ensure a smooth take over by Bello. The President, who was supposed to proceed to London from Nairobi, beat a retreat only to continue the journey from Abuja on Sunday after he had directed security operatives to ensure a smooth assumption office by Bello.
It was gathered that the police personnel was subsequently drafted to the APC headquarters on Sunday, not on Monday as is being speculated in a section of the media.
”The security deployment was to ensure there was no outbreak of violence. We are happy that everything went smoothly,” a reliable source very close to the APC Secretariat said on Monday.
