The All Progressives Congress (APC) has announced the suspension of its planned national executive committee (NEC) meeting.
Acting national chair of the party, Abubakar Kyari, disclosed this to newsmen after an emergency gathering of the party’s national working committee (NWC) in Abuja on Monday.
The emergency meeting which was held at the party’s headquarters with the presence of heavy security operatives was called after the “resignation” of Abdullahi Adamu and Iyiola Omisore as the national chairman and national secretary of the APC.
Kyari said the postponement was necessitated by the change in the party’s leadership.
“The NWC wishes to inform you of the resignation of the National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu and Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore”, Kyari said.
He said a new date for the meetings 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.”
