The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, has finally resigned from the position.
This disclosure was made by the Deputy National Chairman, North, Senator Abubakar Kyari, on Monday in Abuja.
Kyari told newsmen at the end of the National Working Committee meeting of the party that the National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, had also resigned.
He said that the meeting was attended by 17 members of the NWC with only Felix Morka, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, and National Woman Leader, Dr. Betta Edu, absent with permission.
He said: “It is now incumbent on my humble self, Senator Abubakar Kyari, as the Deputy National Chairman (North) to assume the office of the Acting National Chairman of the APC.
“And subsequently also, the Deputy National Secretary, Barrister Festus Fuanter, will now assume the office of the Acting National Secretary of the APC.”

Kyari said the reason behind Adamu’s resignation would be communicated to the public at a later date.
He added that the party’s National Caucus and National Executive Committee meetings earlier slated for between July 18 and 19, 2023 had been postponed, saying a new date would be announced later.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that for months now, the APC National Vice-Chairman North West, Dr. Salihu Lukman, had consistently accused Adamu and Omisore of mismanaging the party.
He also alleged that they failed to give proper account of the party’s finances as well abuse of office.
Lukman was a former Director-General of the Progressive Governors Forum, an umbrella body of governors elected on the platform of the APC.
Adamu was elected as the APC National Chairman in March 2022.
