APC: Adamu, Omisore Resign As Nat’l Chairman, Secretary.

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has resigned from office, WesternPost reports.

According to the medium, Adamu resigned to save himself from being removed from office.

It quoted a source who was privy to the details of the resignation, that Adamu was forced out over many issues which include his non-support for President Bola Tinubu.

“For the past two weeks, elements within the party have been calling for his resignation threatening to remove him at the next National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting if he fails to resign,” the source was quoted as saying.

The party’s National Caucus and NEC meeting was initially billed to hold July 10 and 11, but was postponed to Tuesday and Wednesday this week due to the president’s international engagements.

The source further revealed that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu was one of the people who told Adamu to resign because he had become a liability to the party.

He was, however, forced to step down as the party chairman after Imo State Governor and Chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, told him that if he didn’t resign, they will remove him at the next NEC meeting.

Those who are calling for Adamu’s resignation accused him of working against the President during the party’s presidential primaries, publicly supporting former Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, and failing to fully back Tinubu even after securing the party’s ticket.

Adamu was also accused of mismanaging the party’s funds.

It was also gathered that the National Secretary of the party, Sen Iyiola Omisore, has also tendered his resignation minutes.
