Chairman of the Caretaker Extra-Ordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Governor Mai Mala Buni has denied the rumour of crisis between him and Senate President Ahmad Lawan over 2023 presidential race.

The Yobe Governor was reported by a national newspaper of being embroiled in a crisis with the Senate President.

But in statement by the APC chairman signed by his Director General Press and Media Affairs, Malam Mamman Mohammed in Abuja on Friday, Buni described the publication as “a false, delusive, fallacious and a misleading figment of somebody’s imagination.

“It is also surprising that such unethical and unprofessional fabrications can be a lead story in any acclaimed national newspaper.
