Reports reaching the desk of Africa Today News, New York has it that the immediate former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu, has announced his retirement from partisan politics.
Adamu revealed that he recently began to develop allergies for political activities, hence the need for retirement.
He made this known yesterday at the launch of a book titled ‘Progressive Governance, Showcasing The Achievements of His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State 2019 – 2023’, written by Abdullahi Tanimu.
Abdullahi also called on the people of Nasarawa State to support Governor Abdullahi Sule.
Adamu said Sule had consolidated the achievements of his predecessors and improved on them.
According to Adamu: ‘I am not only a retiree but I am out of politics. I’m beginning to develop little allergies for political activities now and political speeches.
‘So, forgive me, I will not make any political statement beyond asking for more support for the governor of the state.
‘He needs all your prayers and goodwill to be able to succeed.’
In another report, Dr. Salihu Lukman who is a former National Vice Chairman, North-west of the APC has warned that the ruling party might be booted out of office in 2027 by Nigerians, if life became more difficult for the people.
Africa Today News, New York reports that Lukman gave the warning on Thursday in Abuja during a press briefing ahead of the launching of his new book slated for next Tuesday.
He said after his resignation from the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party, he decided to document his experiences with the struggle under the transition that brought in President Bola Tinubu.
The party Chieftain noted that APC was lucky to have Tinubu as an aspirant then, saying if the party didn’t have somebody with his weight, they wouldn’t have succeeded in repelling the attempt to impose a presidential candidate on the party.
