APC Blames PDP For The Alleged Plot To Remove Adamu

The All Progressive Congress (APC) has urged Nigerian to disregard alleged planned removal of the APC National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, saying it is a rumour and underhand machination of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as part of its propaganda against the APC ahead of the 2023 General Elections.

Recall that there have been media reports claiming a plan was afoot to oust Adamu as APC National chairman.

However, in a statement on Wednesday 17 August, 2022 in Abuja by the APC National Publicity Secretary Barr Felix Morka, debunked the reports and accused the PDP of orchestrating them in the media.

Morka said the PDP was only dissipating energy "on innuendoes and chasing after phantom plots" in the APC, instead of mending its broken rank.

The statement reads: "The attention of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been drawn to opposition-sponsored media reports on plots to remove the National Chairman of the Party, Sen. (Dr.) Abdullahi Adamu.

"The reports are based on the imagination of its sponsors ostensibly unnerved by the remarkable achievements of Sen. Adamu since assuming office as the National Chairman.

"Our party and leaders are currently focused on the important task of building a strong and vibrant electoral campaign ahead, and will not be distracted by boring chirps of idle speculators.

"The opposition PDP is quite welcome to continue to dissipate its energies on innuendoes and chasing after phantom plots in APC rather than concentrate on mending its broken and acrimonious house.

"The National Working Committee of our Party stands united under Sen. Adamu's leadership as National Chairman with the singular commitment to winning the next general election."
