After their resignations, Adamu, Omisore meet Tinubu in Aso Rock

• The duo are meeting with Tinubu inside the presidential villa, Abuja, behind closed doors
• The meeting is not unconnected to efforts to address issues surrounding the party’s leadership

The embattled former National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, is currently meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

Also at the meeting is the former Secretary of the party, Senator Iyiola Omisore.

The duo are meeting with Tinubu inside the presidential villa, Abuja, behind closed doors.

Recall that Adamu and Omisore resigned their positions as leaders of the APC early last week, ahead of the scheduled National Caucus and National Executive Council (NEC) meetings, which were to be held on Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 July, respectively.

Both Adamu and Omisore were allegedly forced to resign.

Though the details of the meeting have not emerged, it is gathered that it must have been part of efforts to sort out issues surrounding the party’s leadership.

Although neither Adamu nor Omisore has openly announced their said resignation, since it became news, the Acting National Chairman, Abubakar Kyari, who was Deputy National Chairman (North), while speaking to journalists after a meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja, said both leaders have resigned.

“The NWC wishes to inform you of the resignation of the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, and that of the National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore and with this development, and according to the constitution of the All Progressives Congress (APC), it is now incumbent on my humble self, Senator Abubakar Kyari, as a Deputy National Chairman, North, to assume the office of the acting National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“And subsequently, also, the Deputy National Secretary, Festus Fuantar, will now assume the office of the acting National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC)”.
