By Aviashima Toom, Abuja

There seem to be  tension as the All Progressives Congress (APC) as its Caretaker/ Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee Inaugurates state executive chapters today at Buhari House, its national secretariat. 

Sahel Reporters report revealed that chieftains of the party are poised for a showdown with the APC CECPC led by Yobe State governor, Mai Mala Buni.
 Investigation however revealed that parallel congresses were conducted in many states, particularly in states under its control where governors, serving ministers, and federal lawmakers have been embroiled in leadership tussles for control of state chapters. 

Top on the list of states where the party is heavily fractured include, Zamfara, Kano, Ogun, Kwara, Osun, Oyo, Delta, Akwa-Ibom, among others. 

The APC CECPC held a crucial meeting, on Wednesday, ahead of the inauguration of the state executive fixed for today (Thursday). 

Some of the governors, who incidentally are members of the APC CECPC, were said to he absent. Details of the meeting were sketchy as at press time. 

A party source revealed that the caretaker was divided on whether to abort the inauguration and bid for more time to avoid litigations that could trail the exercise from party chieftains, including some serving governors that could lose out in the power game for control of state chapters. 

Meanwhile the inauguration which was schedule for 11am is now shifted to 2pm. Secretariat staffs, journalists and other party faithfuls are seeing roaming around the Secretariat.
