JUST IN: Abdullahi Adamu resigns as APC national chairman
Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has tendered his resignation as the national chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to reports, Adamu tendered his resignation letter on Sunday night, July 16, 2023, to Presidential Villa, Abuja, ahead of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s return from the African Union (AU) meeting in Kenya.
A source said Adamu, a former governor of Nasarawa State, sent the resignation letter to the Chief of Staff of the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, around 4pm on Sunday.
“He has resigned,” a reliable source said. “The resignation letter signed by him has been sent to the villa. The letter was addressed to President Tinubu. But since the president is away in Kenya for the AU meeting, the letter was sent to his chief of staff.”
Confirming this, another source close to Adamu disclosed: “The national chairman resigned following a gang up by people around the president to embarrass him during the meetings of the party slated for tomorrow and Wednesday.”
However, the meetings were later postponed and rescheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday.
A founding member of the party said Adamu resigned when he got wind that two influential personalities around the president had mobilised against him ahead of the meetings.
“He resigned because they have started to collate signatures to impeach him during the forthcoming meetings. He resigned to save himself from humiliation,” the top politician said.
When contacted by Daily Trust, Adamu said that he will not comment on the matter until President Tinubu returns from the AU’s meeting.
“I won’t talk about the issue because the president is away,” Adamu who was the preferred candidate of former President Muhammadu Buhari for the chairmanship seat, said.
