There are claims that Abdullahi Adamu and Iyiola Omisore took the bitter option of resigning their offices as All Progressives Congress (APC) national chairman and national secretary respectively to avoid embarrassment.

Corroborating this position, an APC chieftain who spoke with journalists, disclosed that a team of bigwigs met with Adamu on the night of Sunday, July 16, and persuaded him to resign rather than being embarrassed by rejection during the NEC meeting scheduled for Wednesday, July 19.

The source disclosed that those who are at odds with Adamu have already compiled his ‘sins’ and sent them to President Bola Tinubu.

He said:

“The truth is that some bigwigs in the party are no longer comfortable with Adamu. They are bent on removing him and the national secretary. They have compiled their sins, presented them to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, and are ready to send them out of office during the NEC meeting on Wednesday.

“But in order to mitigate the impact such removal could have on the party and the new administration, a group of party stalwarts met with the chairman tonight (Sunday night) to advise him to resign rather than being shown the exit door at the NEC meeting slated for Wednesday, and he agreed.”
