Adamu’s Resignation Confirmed, Sen. kyari Becomes Acting APC Chairman
The Deputy National Chairman (North) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abubakar Kyari, has stepped in as the party’s National Chairman.
Recall that The Pendulum Media earlier gave a report on the resignation of Senator Adamu as the APC national chairman and how he refuses to make comments until President Tinubu returns.
Kyari, who represented Borno North Senatorial District in the 9th National Assembly presided over the National Working Committee meeting of the party after which he formally announced the resignation of Adamu and Senator Iyiola Omisore as the party’s National Chairman and National Secretary respectively.
Kyari also stated that in line with the constitution of the party, the Deputy National Secretary, Festus Fuanter, will serve as the acting National Secretary of the APC
“As members of the National Working Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC), we are here to address you to the happenings and recent developments regarding the party.
“And subsequently also, the Deputy National Secretary, Festus, Fuantar will now assume the office of the acting National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“And with this recent developments in the change of leadership, I will like to inform everybody here that the proposed National Caucus meeting slated for Tuesday, the 18th of July 2023 and the National Executive Committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) slated for Wednesday night is July 2023 are hereby been postponed.
“And this postponement will not be indefinite but a new date will be communicated in the near future,” Kyari told journalists after the meeting.
Given the recent speculations on the resignations of the duo, Adamu and Omisore’s Kyari said, “At this point, the individuals have resigned voluntarily and that is what is available at this moment. Reasons for resignations will be made to you in the near future.”
Adamu was absent from the NWC meeting on Monday while Omisore stormed out of the meeting held at the party secretariat in Abuja.
In March 2022, Adamu emerged as APC national chairman about two years after the dissolution of the Adams Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee (NWC) was dissolved.
