Tinubu’s Men From Lagos Lead Campaign For Adamu To Resign

Long-time political associates of President Bola Tinubu from Lagos are leading the charge for the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Senator Abdullahi Adamu to resign, GWG.ng reports.

At the head of the charge are the former chairman of the APC in Lagos, Chief Henry Ajomale, and former party spokesman, Mr Joe Igbokwe.

Speaking in separate interviews with Daily Trust, the two questioned the audacity of Adamu in questioning the nominations of principal officers for the National Assembly.

Ajomale was state chairman of the Alliance for Democracy, AD, and subsequently after the merger into the APC.

Speaking against the claims of Adamu that the party did not recognize the principal officers as announced by the presiding officers, Ajomale, himself a veteran politician said:

“I believe that the party’s main duty is to nominate the presiding officers like the Senate President, Deputy, and the Deputy Speaker. I think the others are supposed to be internal so that within themselves they can choose those who are going to occupy the principal officers’ positions because they know themselves more than the party.

“I believe they should be given an opportunity, since they know one another, to pick these themselves.”

Igbokwe, who served under Ajomale as spokesman of the party in Lagos was even more assertive on the need for Adamu to resign.

Also speaking with Daily Trust, Igbokwe said it is high time the national chairman was eased out because he could no longer be trusted.

He said it was wrong for the party’s chairman to have publicly dismissed the list of the principal officers which the president, who is the leader of the party, must have endorsed.

Igbokwe said the national chairman had shown that he cannot be trusted when he attempted to choose the former Senate President, Ahmed Lawan, as the party’s presidential candidate.

He said, “He was supposed to have been removed that time when he supported Ahmed Lawan but APC managed the matter. We can’t trust him.”

The former spokesman of APC in Lagos said even if Adamu was not satisfied with the list of principal officers released, he should not have made it public.

“In all honesty, we can’t trust him again. He was managed for us to come out of the election. Now is the time to ease him out but I know Asiwaju knows what to do,” he added.
