Lukman maintained that it would be honourable for Adamu to resign to balance the APC's Muslim-Muslim ticket's victory in the 2023 election.
He canvassed for a Christian national chairman of the ruling party in a statement titled: APC Internal Dynamics and the Future of Democracy.
Why rumour of Adamu's resignation as APC national chairman may turn out to be true
Speaking on the rumour, an official of the APC who spoke anonymously said it would not be surprising if the news turns out to be true.
The source said:
“He (Adamu) just left without informing anybody in the NWC (National Working Committee). Nobody is aware of his movement as we speak now. So, if they say he has resigned, who am I to say it is not true?”

Atiku’s lawyers ask CCB to stop the investigation of Keyamo’s petition
Legit.ng earlier reported that Atiku Abubakar, the PDP candidate in the just concluded presidential election, has urged the CCB to dismiss the petition before it against him.
Through his lawyers, Atiku said the suit is sub judice because the APC chieftain, Festus Keyamo, who filed the lawsuit, had also filed it at the federal high court in Abuja.
Prof Mike Ozekhome, Atiku's lead counsel, described Keyamo's move as highly inappropriate and equivalent to taking an extra-judicial step.
