President Tinubu, the party's overall leader, has sway within the APC ranks and is anticipated to be a major factor in the rise of new party leaders.

In an exclusive interview with Daily Trust, the former chairman had stated that he would reserve any comments regarding the issue till President Tinubu, who was away in Nairobi, Kenya, returned to the nation.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) National Working Committee (NWC) wishes to inform you of the resignations of the National Chairman, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, and the National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore. As a result of this development and in accordance with the APC Constitution, it is now incumbent upon my humble self, Senator Abubakar Kyari, as a Deputy National Chairman, North, to assume the office of the acting National Chairman of the APC.

"And as a result, Festus Fuantar, the APC's deputy national secretary, will now take over as acting national secretary," the statement continued.

Despite the fact that neither Adamu nor Omisore have publicly announced their resignations since the news broke, the acting national chairman, Abubakar Kyari, who was the Deputy National Chairman (North), told journalists that both leaders had resigned after a meeting of the party's National Working Committee (NWC) in Abuja.

The proposed National Caucus meeting scheduled for Tuesday, July 18, 2023, as well as the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Executive Committee meetings scheduled for Wednesday, July 19, 2023, have both been postponed as a result of the recent developments in the change of leadership.
