The embattled National chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, on Monday said he was going to make an official statement on the arrival of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from the meeting of the African Union (AU), in Nairobi, Kenya.
Adamu said he would not comment on the matter until President Tinubu returns from the African Union (AU) meeting in Nairobi, Kenya.
“I won’t talk about the issue because the president is away,” Adamu said.
Recall that Tinubu left the country on Saturday to Kenya on an official assignment but Dele Alake, his spokesman, said the president was due to return to the country at the end of the meeting.
Recall that on weekend, Adamu resigned when he got wind that two influential personalities around the president had mobilised against him ahead of the National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meetings of the party slated for Tuesday and Wednesday.
The party had fixed July 10 and 11 for its National Caucus and NEC meetings to iron out critical issues affecting it and the crisis within the National Working Committee (NWC).
But the meetings were later postponed and rescheduled.
It was gathered that immediately Adamu was informed about the plan to pass a vote of no confidence on him during the meeting, and that his traducers have started collating signatures to impeach him during the forthcoming meetings, he resigned to save himself from humiliation.
A source said Adamu sent his resignation letter to the Chief of Staff of the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, around 4pm on Sunday.
Adamu’s resignation letter signed by him was said to been sent to the villa.
It was gathered that Adamu addressed his letter to President Tinubu, and because the president was away in Kenya for the AU meeting, the letter was sent to his chief of staff.
