The All Progressives Congress ( APC ) on Wednesday said there was no plan to sack its National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu due to skirmishes in the ruling party.
The party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka made the disclosure in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday, said there was no plan to remove the chairman.
The statement read, “The attention of the All Progressives Congress has been drawn to opposition-sponsored media reports on plots to remove the National Chairman of the Party, Abdullahi Adamu.
“The reports are based on the imagination of its sponsors ostensibly unnerved by the remarkable achievements of Adamu since assuming office as the National Chairman
” Our party and leaders are currently focused on the important task of building a strong and vibrant electoral campaign ahead, and will not be distracted by boring chirps of idle speculators.
“The opposition People’s Democratic Party is quite welcome to continue to dissipate its energies on innuendoes and chasing after phantom plots in APC rather than concentrate on mending its broken and acrimonious house. The National Working Committee of our party stands united under Adamu’s leadership as National Chairman with the singular commitment to winning the next general election.”
The publicity Secretary further stated that an emergency National Executive Committee meeting of the party has been scheduled for the first week of September subject to President Muhammadu Buhari’s approval.
According to Morka,” the NEC meeting became necessary following the expiration of the 90 days transfer of power granted to the NWC of the party by the party’s highest decision-making organ at its 11th meeting on April 20 in Abuja”
Recall that after the primary of the party, some aggrieved members were bent on removing the party chairman based on his alleged :Taking unilateral decisions in the party, failure to refund nomination fees of about 126 members as earlier agreed, the Muslim – Muslim ticket among others.
