A former Governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Abdullahi Adamu has emerged the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of its national convention in Abuja, Saturday March 26, 2022.
This was contained in a Facebook timeline of Ali Abare of Associated Reporters Abroad (ARA) including incisive photos with Senator Adamu, his co-contestant for the position and Nasarawa State Governor Tanko Al-makura with President Muhammadu Buhari apparently in a brokered meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja to agree on a consensus candidate.
Part of the post reads: “We must appreciate and commend His Excellency, Engineer Abdullahi Sule, for his exemplary leadership in managing the political impasse of the past few days, involving two of our prominent leaders.”
According to Abare, Governor Sule has demonstrated an uncommon leadership, in his ability to manage a situation that could not have augured well for the political development of Nasarawa State.
He said, “In the same vein, we should thank Senator Umaru Tanko Al-makura, for agreeing to step down from the contest, paving the way for a resolution of the impasse. That he agrees to step down out of his deep respect for President Muhammadu Buhari, his political mentor, shows he is indeed, a visionary leader that has the interest of both the All Progressives Congress (APC), Nasarawa State and Nigeria at heart.”
