It was gathered party chieftains had for the past two weeks been calling for his resignation, with reports saying he was threatened to be removed at the next National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting this week if he failed to resign.
The APC NEC meeting was scheduled to hold July 10 and 11 but was postponed till Tuesday and Wednesday this week due to the president’s international engagements.
A source told Western Post that the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu was one of the people who told Adamu to resign because he had become a liability to the party.
Things were said to have gotten really heated after the Imo State Governor and Chairman of the Progressives Governors’ Forum, Hope Uzodimma told him that if he didn’t resign, they will remove him at the next NEC meeting.
Adamu is being accused of working against the President during the party’s presidential primaries, publicly supporting former Senate President, Ahmed Lawan and failing to fully back Tinubu even after securing the party’s ticket.
He was also accused of mismanaging the party’s funds.
