What Adamu Said About The Senate President As He Resigns From The 9th Assembly

While still serving his third term at the Senate, the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Abdullahi Adamu has tendered his resignation letter.

His reason to jettison the legislative assignments is however not far fetched. It is coming on the heels of his new responsibilities of leading the ruling party as Chairman of the National Working Committee.

The two term governor of Nasarawa State ascended the chairmanship position of the party on March 26th as consensus candidate and also a preferred choice of president Muhammadu Buhari who is the leader of the party.

As part of arrangements put in place to quickly settle down for the party’s business, the National Chairman officially sent his resignation letter to the Senate president which was read during the Tuesday session on the floor of the Senate.

In the letter, Abdullahi Adamu described the Senate president, Ahmed Lawan as a charismatic leader who treat all senators equally irrespective of political difference.

“I must commend you for a charismatic leadership in which you treat all senators equally irrespective of political difference.”  Adamu said.

In the same vein, the deputy chairman, Senator Abubabakar Kyari who represents Borno North in the 9th Assembly has sent his resignation letter to the Senate. 

Kyari who tendered his resignation in a separate letter said his decision is predicated on his new position as deputy chairman of the APC (North).

The resignation of the senators will now pave ways for INEC to conduct by-elections to fill the two vacant spaces in the Senate from both the senatorial constituencies.
