Details have emerged revealing that the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Abdullahi Adamu, is currently facing a tough battle to keep his job as the leader of the ruling party.
This is coming as the APC battles an internal crisis that has resulted in its failure to hold the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting and ratify the campaign council list of its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, days before the official kickoff of political campaigns.
It was also gathered that some APC presidential aspirants have refused to endorse the presidential ambition of its presidential candidate, Tinubu.
APC NEC Meeting
With many stakeholders of the APC expressing concern that the party is still yet to put its house in order, many have slammed President Muhammadu Buhari over his decision to leave for the United States of America, to attend the United Nations General Assembly function.
Sources in the ruling APC accused Senator Abdullahi Adamu, who is expected to consult with President Buhari and announce a date for the NEC meeting, of foot-dragging.
Adamu is perturbed that governors and other organs of the party could force him to resign during the NEC meeting, to pave the way for a Christian national chairman,”a source told Daily Sun.
Though the source refused to reveal if Tinubu has changed his mind on plans to oust Adamu, the source disclosed that last week’s discreet meeting between Tinubu and members of the National Working Committee (NWC)-led by the APC Chairman was part of moves to build a support base for his seat.
He said: “We are running against time. Campaigns are about to start and the APC is yet to put its house in order. Adamu who should be at the forefront of leading a serious reconciliation is busy fighting to remain in office.
