APC Convention.
Abdullahi Adami, a former governor of Nasarawa State, was confirmed as the new national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) on Saturday night.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s favoured candidate is Adamu.
After George Akume (Benue State), Tanko Al-Makura (Nasarawa), Abdul’Aziz Yari (Zamfara), Sani Musa (Niger), Saliu Mustapha (Kwara), and Etsu Muhammed (Niger) withdrew from the race, he became a consensus candidate.
The confirmation of Adamu and other members of the APC’s new National Working Committee (NWC) and Zonal Leaders was one of the events during the party’s convention, which ended early Sunday in Abuja’s Eagles Square and fully monitored by Dez Mayorz Media.
Iyiola Omisore, an ex-deputy governor of Osun State, was elected as the party’s national secretary.
Other ratified executives include Ijeoma Arodiogwu (National Vice Chairman, South-East), Victor Giadom (National Vice Chairman, South-South), Senator Abubakar Kyari (Borno State) as the Deputy National Chairman (North), Emma Eneukwu (Enugu State) as the Deputy National Chairman (South), Festus Fuanter (Deputy National Secretary), Isaac Kekemeke (National Vice Chairman, South-West), Muhazu Rijau (National Vice Chairman, North-Central), Mustapha Salihu (National Vice Chairman, North-East) and Salihu Lukman (National Vice Chairman, North-West).
The rest are Ahmed El-Marzuk (National Legal Adviser), Uguru Ofoke (National Treasurer), Bashir Gumel (Financial Secretary), Suleiman Argungu (National Organising Secretary), Abubakar Maikafi (National Auditor), Ibrahim Salawu (Deputy National Legal Adviser), Omorede Osifo (Deputy National Treasurer), Beta Edu (National Woman Leader), Abdullahi Israel (National Youth Leader), Tolu Bankole (Special Persons Leader), F.N Nwosu (National Welfare Secretary) and Felix Morka (National Publicity Secretary).
The list, which was signed by governors of the party, comes just as delegates are gathered in Abuja for the ongoing party’s national convention.
