APC Postponed NEC Meeting After Resignation Of National Chairman Abdullahi Adamu

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has canceled its scheduled national executive committee (NEC) and national caucus meetings.

After an urgent meeting of the APC’s national working committee (NWC) on Monday, Abubakar Kyari, the party’s acting national chairman, met with reporters.

The National Working Committee (NWC) meeting was convened following the “resignation” of Abdullahi Adamu and Iyiola Omisore as the national chairman and national secretary of the ruling party, respectively. It took place at the party’s headquarters in Abuja.

Kyari said the change in the party’s leadership necessitated the postponement of the meetings.

The acting national chairman said a new date for the meetings would be communicated to the public in due course.

“With this recent development in the change of leadership, I would like to inform everybody here that the proposed national caucus meeting slated for Tuesday the 18th July 2023 and the NEC meeting of the APC slated for Wednesday 19th July 2023 are hereby postponed,” he said.

“The postponement is not indefinite but a new date will be communicated in the near future. This is our announcement today and information to you our dear friends.”

When asked how the party would recover its funds, Kyari said: “There are no allegations at this point, the two individuals have resigned voluntarily and that is what is available at this moment.”

TheCable reported how the failure of Adamu to account for over N30 billion that accrued to the party from the sale of nomination forms in the build-up to the general election was the “last straw” that led to his ouster.
