Ahead of the proposed National Executive Committee and National Caucus of the All Progressives Congress APC schedule for July 18 &19, 2023, in Abuja, the party’s National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu is believed to have resigned his position.
Speculation was rife last night that Adamu would be forced to step down during the National Working Committee NWC meeting of the party today ahead of the caucus and NEC of the party schedule for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Another source within the party claims as well that Iyiola Omisore, the party’s National Secretary is also likely the to face the exit door . Both men have been at the center of accusations by NWC members who allege infraction of the party’s constitution as well as failing to contribute meaningfully to the victory of the party at the February 2023 presidential election, surrendering their polling units to opposition parties.
Although there was no official confirmation of the development the
APC national chairman was said to have tendered his resignation at the orders of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
While no presidential communication supported the development, it was gathered that the hawks within the party, using some critical voices in the NWC, are poised to ease the former Nasarawa State governor out of Buhari’s House should he fail to throw in the towel.
Another source even went ahead to claim that Adamu had already dropped the prized piece of letter with Governor Hope Uzodinma , Chairman of the progressive governors forum.
The National Vice Chairman North West, Salihu Lukman had accused him of breaching the constitution of the party and running a sole administratorship.
Lukman also accused the National Chairman of refusing to put money into the campaigns of the party, among other allegations.
Adamu recently stoked controversy when he told reporters in Abuja that governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu was seriously incapacitated only to embark on a fruitless effort to recant.
