The All Progressives Congress (APC) said the sudden resignations of both its National Chairman, senator Abdullahi Adamu and the National Secretary, senator Iyiola Omisore have not weakened the party in any way.

In a statement on Saturday, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, said contrary to reports of a deepening crisis, “the APC stands as one strong, dynamic, resilient and progressive party”.

Mr. Morka said on the contrary the resignation of the two leaders showed the party’s level of institutional maturity and the quality of its leadership which places the interest of the party above personal egos and ambitions.

The party also dismissed reports of disharmony among members of its National Working Committee (NWC) over the choice of possible successor to Mr. Adamu, saying that those stories are “purely speculative”.

The party claimed that the position of the NWC on the subject of succession for any vacant office would be communicated via the official channels of the NWC.

“Change in the life of any individual or institution is constant and inevitable. As Africa’s largest political party, our demonstrated capacity to adapt to change and emergent realities always stands us out, and sets us beyond the wishes of doomsayers.

“We remain committed to the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Administration towards uplifting the quality of life of all Nigerians,” the statement added.

On Monday, the Deputy National Chairman (North) of the APC, Senator Abubakar Kyari, emerged as the party’s acting National Chairman.

Kyari succession to Adamu as followed a NWC meeting in Abuja.

Briefing reporters after the meeting, Mr.Kyari formally announced the resignation of senators Adamu and Iyiola Omisore as the party’s National Chairman and National Secretary respectively.
Mr. Kyari further said that in line with the constitution of the party, the Deputy National Secretary, Festus Fuanter, will serve as the acting National Secretary of the APC.
