APC suspends NEC meeting after national chairman’s resignation

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has suspended its planned National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting.

Abubakar Kyari, acting national chairman of the APC, announced this to reporters after an emergency meeting of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) on Monday.

The NWC meeting held at the party’s headquarters in Abuja was called after the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu as the national chairman of the ruling party.

Kyari said the change in the party’s leadership necessitated the postponement of the meeting.

The acting national chairman said a new date for the meeting would be communicated to the public in due course.

“With this recent development in the change of leadership, I would like to inform everybody here that the proposed national caucus meeting slated for Tuesday the 18th July 2023 and the NEC meeting of the APC slated for Wednesday 19th July 2023 are hereby postponed,” he said.

“The postponement is not indefinite but a new date will be communicated in the near future. This is our announcement today and information to you our dear friends.”
