There are strong indications that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has resigned.
TRACKNEWS reports that Adamu reportedly submitted his resignation letter to the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, on Sunday afternoon. The letter was addressed to President Bola Tinubu, who is currently out of the country for an African Union (AU) meeting in Kenya.
A source close to Adamu said that the national chairman resigned following a “gang up” by people around the president to embarrass him during the party’s National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings, which are scheduled to take place on Monday and Wednesday.
Another source, who is a founding member of the APC, claimed that Adamu resigned because two influential members of the party were mobilising against him ahead of the NEC meeting.
“He resigned because they have started to collate signatures to impeach him during the forthcoming meetings,” the politician said. “He resigned to save himself from humiliation.”
Adamu reacting to the development, promised not to comment on the matter until President Tinubu returns from the AU’s meeting, TRACKNEWS reports.
The former governor of Nasarawa State said, “I won’t talk about the issue because the president is away.”
