Adamu has since replaced the directors.

Daily Trust reports that the statement signed by the five “sacked” directors and the head of legal, argued that the transition committee didn’t recommend their sack, hence they are still legitimate staff of the party and must be paid their entitlements.

They said Adamu’s claim of inheriting N7.5bn debt from the Buni committee was false.
