Nigeria’s political terrain continues to realign decisively in favor of the All Progressives Congress (APC), as the party consolidates control of 30 states across the federation, reinforcing its position as the most dominant and structurally cohesive political party not only in Nigeria but also on the African continent.
With opposition parties retaining control of only a few states, the APC’s expanding dominance is widely seen as the product of years of deliberate party engineering, internal reforms, reconciliation efforts, and sustained grassroots mobilization.
Central to this remarkable political growth is Mai Mala Buni, Executive Governor of Yobe State, whose contributions to the stability, unity, and institutional strength of the APC have earned widespread recognition within and beyond party ranks.
From his impactful tenure as National Secretary of the APC to his historic leadership as Chairman of the party’s National Caretaker and Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Gov. Buni emerged as a steady hand at moments of intense internal tension.
Under his watch, long-standing disputes were resolved, fractured blocs were reunited, and credible congresses were successfully conducted at ward, local government, state, and national levels—restoring confidence in the party’s internal democratic processes.
As Gov. Buni has continued to play a vital national role, chairing strategic reconciliation and advisory committees that have helped sustain party cohesion and broaden the APC’s national appeal. Party stakeholders consistently attribute the APC’s growing reach to his calm disposition, consensus-driven leadership style, and unwavering commitment to party supremacy over personal ambition.
The current political configuration vividly reflects this dominance:
APC – 30 States
PDP – 3 States (Bauchi, Oyo, Zamfara)
Accord Party – 1 State (Osun)
APGA – 1 State (Anambra)
Labour Party – 1 State (Abia)
ADC – 0 States
As Nigeria advances toward future electoral cycles, the APC’s commanding national presence underscores more than electoral success—it highlights the enduring impact of disciplined leadership, robust party structures, and strategic unity.
Gov. Mai Mala Buni’s role in this journey stands as a compelling example of how principled leadership, bridge-building, and loyalty to party ideals can translate into lasting political strength.
Indeed, the APC’s widening footprint across Nigeria bears the clear imprint of leaders who prioritized unity, healed divisions, and invested in sustainable political institutions—values Gov. Buni continues to embody.
