The Buhari Support Group has demanded that the national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Abdullahi Adamu resign following his attempt to impose a presidential candidate on the party.
The group said that it has been vindicated by the position of President Muhammadu Buhari that he has not endorsed any consensus candidate for the position of presidential candidate.
“The purported adoption of a consensus candidate by the party chairman, Senator Abdulahi Adamu, using the name of President Buhari, has not only caused Mr. President a national disgrace but also international embarrassment.
“It is commendable that Mr. President has instantly disassociated himself from the sham consensus candidate announced by Senator Adamu, which has caused serious disagreement in the party’s National Working Committee,” Ahmed Bashir of the Buhari Support Group said.
The group noted that, “In view of the above, it is our position that Senator Abdulahi Adamu should step down forthwith as the Chairman of the party as he is no longer seen as an unbiased umpire and therefore unable to conduct, coordinate, supervise and oversee the presidential primary election, for which he has announced a fake result even before the commencement of accreditation”.
“We call on the members of the National Working Committee to rise up to the occasion and save our party from implosion, by suspending Senator Adamu till after the convention, if he fails to immediately recluse himself from conducting the presidential primary election.”
