The protesters grounded activities at the party’s secretariat as they demanded that they must see the national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu.

They were seen with different inscriptions that read:

“National Chairman APC, do not condone impunity”; “APC must not only preach equity and justice but must demonstrate equity and justice”, among others.

APC protesters accused Adamu of collecting bribes from PDP

The protesters accused Adamu of collecting bribes from certain politicians in the Peoples Democratic Party so that the umbrella party could win the FCT in the 2023 election.

“We want to see Adamu. He must stop the impunity by ensuring that Abdulmalik is not sworn in the third time. If he fails to address us, it means that he has collected money from the PDP so that APC will lose FCT again in the 2023 elections,” one of the protesters said.

Why is Adamu Conspicuously Absent At APC NWC Meeting With Tinubu, Governors?

Legit.ng earlier reported that the national chairman of the APC, Abdullahi Adamu, was obviously absent at the meeting of the party's stakeholders with the presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

Recall that Adamu allegedly wrote a letter to Tinubu, accusing the presidential hopeful of breaking his agreement with the party on the PCC's list.

Though the party later dissociated itself from the letter, a source revealed that Tinubu had decided to take the bull by the horn and called all aggrieved members to the political round table.
