Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Senator Iyiola Omisore, who recently resigned from the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), were seen at the Aso Villa in Abuja on Tuesday. However, they left the Presidential Villa without speaking to reporters.
It is unclear if they met with President Bola Tinubu, who was in Kenya during their resignation on July 17, 2023. Their visit is believed to be connected to the crisis within the ruling party.
Last week, APC Deputy National Chairman (North), Senator Abubakar Kyari, was appointed as the party’s National Chairman, replacing Adamu, and Festus Fuanter was announced as the acting National Secretary following Omisore’s resignation.
The reasons behind their resignations have not been disclosed yet, but Kyari stated that the individuals resigned voluntarily. Adamu was absent from the NWC meeting on July 17, while Omisore walked out of the meeting at the party secretariat in Abuja.
On the reasons behind Adamu and Omisore’s resignations, Kyari said, “At this point, the individuals have resigned voluntarily and that is what is available at this moment. Reasons for resignations will be made to you in the near future.” Adamu was absent from the NWC meeting on July 17, 2023 while Omisore stormed out of the meeting held at the party secretariat in Abuja. Kyari, who represented Borno North Senatorial District in the 9th National Assembly, presided over the APC NWC meeting.
