Senator Abubakar Kyari, the Deputy National Chairman (North) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has taken over as the party’s National Chairman. He assumed the position on July 17, just a day after Senator Abdullahi Adamu resigned from the role. Kyari’s appointment was announced during the party’s National Working Committee meeting held on the same day. In his announcement, Kyari confirmed the resignations of Adamu and Senator Iyiola Omisore as the National Chairman and National Secretary of the party respectively. He also stated that, according to the party’s constitution, Festus Fuanter, the Deputy National Secretary, would serve as the acting National Secretary of the APC. During the NWC meeting, Adamu was not present, while Omisore left the meeting abruptly at the party secretariat in Abuja. Senator Abubakar Kyari, who previously represented Borno North Senatorial District in the 9th National Assembly, chaired the APC NWC meeting.
