Journalists sent packing as Adamu takes over APC Media Centre

There was confusion at the National Secretariat of All Progressives Congress on Tuesday as the newly-elected Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, sent journalists out of the Media Centre.

This was even as the APC National Chairman failed to submit his resignation letter to the leadership of the Senate.

This is happening nine days after he emerged as the National Chairman of the APC.

It was learnt that the Media Centere would now serve as the office of Adamu.

The Office of the Chairman of the APC is located on the third floor of National Headquarters of the party and can only be accessed through a flight of stairs, which, our correspondent observed, has been an arduous task for the 75-year-old party chairman to climb.

While asking journalists to vacate the Media Centre located on the ground floor on Tuesday, a party official announced that “the party leadership is embarking on a remodelling,” and, therefore, they needed to vacate the space.

However, sources at the National Headquarters, also known as Buhari House, confirmed that the National Chairman would take over the Media Centre as his new office.

According to one of the sources who asked to remain anonymous: “Our new National Chairman is an old man.

“He is not as energetic as Governor (Mai Mala) Buni or Adams Oshiomhole.

“In fact, it took him about 20 minutes to climb the staircase to the third floor this morning.

“Presently, both the staff and non-staff do not know what the ongoing reorganisation at the APC secretariat will lead to.

“All our Directors and other key staff are under probe, although some of them did runs and can’t escape sanction.”
