Senator Abdullahi Adamu, former Nasarawa State governor, has emerged the new National Chairman, while Senator Iyiola Omisore, former Osun State deputy governor, became the new National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the 2022 National Convention of the party.<\/p>\n
Both plus others were announced as the new National Working Committee (NWC) members of the APC late Saturday night at its well attended national convention which held at the Eagle Square, Abuja, on March 26, 2022.<\/p>\n
Adamu had emerged as the consensus candidate of the party after six other aspirants stepped down, same for Omisore who got enlisted in the unity list of the consensus candidates from the South-West caucus of the party.<\/p>\n
As gathered, President Muhammadu Buhari, who had called top party members to resolve at adopting the consensus option for the new NWC members to emerge was particularly interested in five offices, namely National Chairman, Deputy National Chairman (North), Deputy National Chairman (South), National Secretary and National Organising Secretary, to put the party in a better shape.<\/p>\n
It was this arrangement well followed up that produced Abdullahi as a consensus candidate, while the South West caucus equally opted for Senator Iyiola Omisore, as their preferred candidate for the NWC position.<\/p>\n
Delegates drawn from the 36 states of Nigeria and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, numbering 7,584, had, from the early hours of Saturday started converging on the Eagles Square, Abuja, to elect the the of National Working Council (NWC) members for the party.<\/p>\n
At least, 169 aspirants who have been cleared after obtaining nomination forms to contest for various positions in the NWC of the APC were on the ground ready for elections expected to be keenly contested.<\/p>\n
Among all, top contenders party positions include Senator Abdullahi Adamu, a former governor of Nasarawa State and former Governor George Akume, both for the National Chairmanship of the party before he, Akume, earlier on Saturday revealed that six of the APC Chairmanship aspirants had withdrawn from the race.<\/p>\n
