Abubakar Kyari, deputy national chairman (north) of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), is currently presiding over a meeting of the
party’s national working committee (NWC).
The development came hours after Abdullahi Adamu, national
chairman of the party, resigned from office.
Emma Enukwu, deputy national chairman (south); Isaac
Kekemeke, vice-chairman south-west; Salihu Lukman, vice-chairman north-west;
and Festus Fuanter, deputy national legal secretary; are among those attending
the meeting at the party’s headquarters on Monday.
There is heavy presence of security personnel around the
headquarters of the party located in the Wuse 2 district of the federal capital
territory (FCT).
Adamu was absent at the meeting, while Iyiola Omisore,
national secretary of the APC, arrived at the venue late, but left sooner.
Insiders said Omisore was not allowed to be part of the
meeting.
Reports have it that Adamu was advised by Hope Uzodinma, the
governor of Imo state and chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF), to
resign after a protracted cold war with President Bola Tinubu.
In the build-up to the national elective convention that saw
Adamu become APC chairman, Tinubu had supported Tanko Al-Makura, a former
senator and ally, for the position.
But having enjoyed the support of former President Muhammadu
Buhari, Adamu was elected chairman.
Also, while the party was in the process of choosing its
presidential candidate, Adamu openly supported Ahmad Lawan, a former president
of the senate.
Adamu has reportedly been unable to account for the over N30
billion accrued to the party from the sales of nomination forms before the just
concluded general election.
