- Lawyer said Omisore not forced to resign as being insinuated in some quarters
- Lawyer said Omisore working to stabilise political space
Kayode Ajulo, solicitor to Sen. Iyola Omisore says the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has not resigned from his office.
Ajulo said this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja on Monday.
He said Omisore it was unlikely for both the party’s National Chairman, Sen Abdullahi Adamu and Omisore to vacate their offices same time.
He, therefore, described the rumoured resignation of Omisore as baseless and unfounded.
He said the former Osun senator would attend the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) scheduled for today.
He said if Omisore will resign that would be a personal decision, adding that he has not been forced to resign as being insinuated in some quarters.
“Why must he resign, he is the National Secretary of the winning party that has just ushered in the new government of President Bola Tinubu.
“He is proud of what the president is doing and the party enjoys the confidence of the president vice versa
“What he is doing now is to stabilise the political space and ensure that those who worked for the emergence of President Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian people are happy with the government,” Ajulo said.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that there were also rumours on July 16 over alleged resignation of the National Adamu.
NAN reports that Omisore was also rumoured to have written his resignation letter ahead of the National Caucus and National Executive Committee meetings of the party scheduled for July 17.
Meanwhile, the Deputy National Organising Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Nze Chidi Duru, has confirmed the resignation of the embattled National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu.
The development came as the meeting of the National Working Committee, NWC, got underway at the Buhari House national secretariat of the party.
At the meeting presided over by the Deputy National Chairman, North, Senator Abubakar Kyari, the National Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore was reportedly barred from entering.
Also, his parking lot was taken over by his deputy.
Omisore, who left the secretariat as soon as he came in, said he was going to meet Adamu, adding that he did not know why the former Nasarawa governor was not at the secretariat.
