Yobe State Governor Mai Mala Buni is leading the APC Conflict Resolution and Mobilisation Committee (CRMC) ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He said the committee will create strategies to resolve pending disputes and manage political threats to the ruling party.

He noted that the team will engage aggrieved party members and other key stakeholders across the country.
The governor stressed that the committee is built to endure.
He said it will foster a sense of belonging among new and old APC members.
It will also give confidence to aggrieved members and prepare the party for future elections.
The committee will also take proactive measures against potential political threats.
It will apply conflict-resolution methods at both the state and national levels to protect the party.
