Nigeria President Bola Tinubu Tuesday met with the embattled former National Chairman of the governing All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, and ex-National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore at the State House, Abuja.
The purpose of the meeting which ended at about 1.30pm remains unclear, is coming about a week after their reported resignation, which was announced during the National Working Committee (NWC) meeting of the party on July17, 2023.
President Tinubu, who is the national leader of the party, is granted a lot of leverage and influence within the ranks of the APC and is expected to have input into the emergence of new party leaders.
When rumours about the resignation of the duo emerged, the former Chairman, Adamu, had been reported as saying he was not going to make any comments on the development until President Tinubu, who was away in Nairobi, Kenya, returned to the country.
Although neither Adamu nor Omisore has openly announced their said resignation, since it became news, the Acting National Chairman, who was Deputy National Chairman (North), Abubakar Kyari, while speaking to journalists after a meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja, said both leaders had resigned.
He had said: “The NWC wishes to inform you of the resignation of the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, and that of the National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore and with this development, and according to the constitution of the All Progressives Congress (APC), it is now incumbent on my humble self, Senator Abubakar Kyari, as a Deputy National Chairman, North, to assume the office of the acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“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 meetings of the All Progressives Congress (APC) slated for Wednesday, 19th of July 2023 are hereby been postponed. And this postponement will not be indefinite but a new date will be communicated in the near future”.
