Adamu Absence At NWC Meeting, Finally Speaks Amid Reports Of ‘Resignation’
Senator Abdullahi Adamu
Deputy National Organising Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Nze Chidi Duru, has confirmed the resignation of the embattled National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
The development came as the meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC, got underway at the Buhari House national secretariat of the party.
At the meeting presided over by the Deputy National Chairman, North, Senator Abubakar Kyari, the National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore was reportedly barred from entering.
Also, his parking lot was taken over by his deputy.
Omisore, who left the secretariat as soon as he came in, said he was going to meet Adamu, adding that he did not know why the former Nasarawa governor was not at the secretariat.
Duru also said the NWC members were expecting Omisore to resign.
Meanwhile, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the former National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has finally spoken out after maintaining silence since news of his resignation emerged over the weekend.
As a founding member of the party, he had refrained from commenting on the matter.
However, when contacted by Daily Trust, Adamu stated that he would not address the issue until President Bola Tinubu returned from the African Union (AU) meeting in Nairobi, Kenya.
“I won’t discuss the issue because the president is away,” Adamu conveyed over the phone to the newspaper.
President Tinubu departed the country on Saturday, and his spokesperson, Dele Alake, released an itinerary indicating that the president would return to the country at the conclusion of the meeting.
The president’s arrival is anticipated at any moment.
However, the National Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Iyiola Omisore, left the venue of the emergency National Working Committee (NWC) meeting of the ruling party as soon as he came.
Omisore who was among the early callers at the meeting left the party secretariat without speaking with the media.
Those in attendance were Senator Abubakar Kyari, Deputy National Chairman (North), Emma Enukwu Deputy National Chairman (South); National Vice Chairman (North-West), Salihu Lukman; National Vice Chairman (North-East), Salihu Mustapha; National Vice Chairman (North Central), Muazu Bawa; National Vice Chairman (South-West), Issacs Kekemeke; National Vice Chairman (South-East), Ejoroma Arodiogu and the Deputy National Secretary, Barr.
