APC: Coalition Backs Lukman, Asks Adamu To Heed Resignation Calls

A coalition of civil society organisations under the aegis of Conference of Nigeria Civil Rights Activists (CNCRA) has urged the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Abdullahi Adamu, to obey the calls for his resignation in the interest of equity, fairness and justice.

The CNCRA commended the national vice chairman (North-West) of the APC, Mallam Salihu Lukman, for demanding the resignation of Adamu. The CNCRA said Adamu’s exit as APC national chairman would ensure power balancing in the incoming Bola Tinubu ‘s All Progressives Congress-led government.

The group made the commendation in a statement signed by its convener, Pastor Ifeanyi Odili, and secretary, Engr. Sina Akadiri, which was made available to journalists in Abuja, yesterday. The rights activists said Adamu’s resignation would also be a great opportunity for the All Progressives Congress to assuage the feelings of Christians towards the same faith arrangement of the party in the recently concluded presidential election.

It argued that the national chairman should quit the stage honourably in a bid to balance the Muslim-Muslim ticket of the president-elect, Bola Tinubu and his running mate, Kashim Shettima. Lukman, had in a statement titled, “APC Internal Dynamics and the Future of Democracy,” which he issued at the weekend, stressed that the national chairman of the party, must resign to give way to a Christian leader.

The CNCRA said, “Adamu should toe the path of honour and statesmanship by tendering his letter of resignation after the governorship and House Assembly elections
