Meanwhile, Adamu (Nasarawa West) and Senator Abubakar Kyari (Borno North), who were elected as the national chairman and deputy national chairman (North) of the APC had been asked to resign from office.
Adamu, who had been representing Nasarawa West since 2011, emerged as the national chairman of the party on Saturday during the national convention.
Like Adamu, Kyari had been in the Senate since 2015 when he was first elected to represent Borno North Senatorial District. He emerged through consensus as the deputy national chairman (North) of the ruling party.

It would be recalled that the Yobe state governor, Mai Mala Buni piloted the affairs of the party for 21 months as the head of its caretaker committee.
