Senator Abdullahi Adamu Still A Loyal  Member – APC Debunks His Rumoured Defection

By Suleiman Anyalewechi

The All Progressive Congress, APC, has rejected claims suggesting that former Governor of Nasarawa state Senator Abdullahi Adamu has defected to the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

It described as false and totally misleading reports on the social media space that claiming that  Adamu, a former National Chairman of the APC, is now a member of the coalition platform ADC.

A statement  Thursday evening January 8, 2025, issued by the Nasarawa State APC Organizing Secretary, Hassan Abubakar, also described the purported defection of Adamu as a deliberate propaganda  designed to mislead the public and cause confusion within the party.

Abubakar, who is the State Coordinator of the APC’s e-membership registration exercise, informed that the images being circulated on the social media were taken during the former Governor’s e-membership and revalidation exercise, an ongoing programme aimed at strengthening the party’s database, and internal democracy.

The APC emphasized that Adamu remains a card-carrying and loyal member of the APC.

“For the avoidance of doubt , Senator Abdullahi Adamu at no time ,defected, contemplated defection, or associated himself with any other political party”, the APC noted.

The APC expressed serious surprise and shock over deliberate attempts by some political desperados to misrepresent a legitimate party activity as a defection.

The party, therefore, urged APC members and the general public to disregard the claims of the defection of Adamu,and rely only on verified APC sources for information.

The Source further reports that Senator Adamu in 2023 resigned his appointment as the APC National Chairman after an alleged disagreement with the presidency.

He was elected as the National Chairman at the party’s National Convention in 2022 ,but was forced to make way for Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje , immediately after the 2023 general elections owing to perceived irreconcilable differences with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu .
