The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Adamu, and his deputy Abubakar Kyari have formally resigned from the Senate.
They both tendered their resignation in separate letters read by Senate President Ahmad Lawan on the floor on Tuesday.
Adamu and Kyari said their action became necessary following their emergence as National Chairman and Deputy National Chairman (North) of the APC respectively.
Until his resignation, Senator Abdullahi Adamu was a two-term governor of Nasarawa State and a third-term Senator in the Senate.
Adamu in his resignation letter praised the charismatic leadership of the Senate President, saying:
“I must commend you for a charismatic leadership in which you treat all Senators equally irrespective of political difference.”
