Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the national Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has resigned from office, according to multiple reports Sunday night.

Adamu, former governor of Nasarawa state, was said to have resigned to save himself from being removed from office, the Western Post, close to the APC leadership reported.

According to the paper, Adamu was forced to bow out over many issues which included his non- for President Bola Tinubu during the campaign.

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 this week if he failed to resign.

The party’s NEC meeting was initially billed to hold July 10 and 11 but was postponed till 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, Hope Uzodimma 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 ing 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.

National Publicity Secretary of the party, Felix Morka did not reply an SMS sent by our editors.

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, tendered his resignation last night, Daily Trust reliably gathered.

Credible sources confirmed to this paper that Adamu, who emerged as the national chairman at the party’s national convention held in March 2022, has sent his resignation letter to the Presidential Villa, Abuja ahead of the return of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from the African Union (AU) meeting in Kenya.

One of the sources 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. 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,” the source said.

Also, a source close to Adamu corroborated this, adding that, “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.”

The source, however, denied a report that it was President Tinubu that asked Adamu to resign ahead of the National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings of the party slated for tomorrow and Wednesday. The party had fixed July 10 and 11 for its National Caucus and NEC meetings to iron out critical issues affecting it and the crisis within the National Working Committee (NWC).

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 ed, Adamu told this paper 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.

It would be recalled that Adamu had, shortly before the presidential primaries of the APC, declared former Senate President Ahmad Lawan as the consensus candidate of the party.

The declaration by Adamu created uproar in the party as governors of the party from the North ganged up against him. They went to the villa and declared that the presidency be zoned to the South.

The position of the governors forced the party to open the race for its presidential ticket. Tinubu won the election. Recently, Adamu kicked against the list of the principal officers of the party announced by the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio and Speaker, Tajudeen Abbas.

Following the development, Adamu was summoned to the villa by President Tinubu. At the meeting that had the National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore, the issue was resolved.

Bayo Onanuga is a former Editor-in-chief at PM News and still holds control there.

Western Post News was founded by Rahman Tunde Sarafadeen in 2015.
A year before he was appointed media aide to Bola Tinubu and was only appointed SSA on media to the President days ago.

PM News was the first to break Emefiele's arrest so believe it is either happening or they are plotting.

Exactly my point. It's a kite being flown. Lukman, El-rufai's mouthpiece has been on Adamu and Omisore's case since February.

I knew it. He can't work with current govt

hhgg

Hmmm

As expected, the man supposed follow Emefiele to the prison yard

It is a matter of time that's if he hasn't resigned yet

It is inevitable.alcaraz is absolute

Well, we'll wait and see

Adamu is a goner for sure. He has refused to organise NEC meeting since he assumed office, he never fully deploy the party machinery towards Tinubu's campaign that Tinubu had to set up extra door-to-door campaign groups especially in the north which was reporting back within Tinubu's camp. Adamu rejected Tinubu's initial PCC list until Tinubu expanded it to accomodate his interests, he also refused to heed Buhari's instruction to refund the Presidential contestants many of whom grew weary to work for the party. A super lukewarm chairman who had nothing on the opposition, a PDP chieftain said Oshiomole struck fears in them as chairman that they became happy when he was removed. A party's chairman must be able to preempt the opposition and disrupt their camp and also boost public confidence in the policies of the govt but all these qualities were missing in him.

Onanuga & Rahman should tell you the direction Oga is headed.

Adamu is gone......
