Former APC chair retires from politics

Abdullahi Adamu, the ex-national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has declared his withdrawal from political activities.

Adamu spoke on Saturday in Lafia, Nasarawa state capital, during the launch of a book written by Abdullahi Tanimu.

The book is titled: ‘Progressive governance: Showcasing the achievements of His Excellency, Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa State 2019 – 2023’.

Adamu while speaking during the book launch said he has developed “little allergies” for political activities and speeches.

“I am not only a retiree but I am out of politics. I’m beginning to develop little allergies for political activities now and political speeches.

“So, forgive me, I will not make any political statements beyond asking for further and more support for the governor of the state.

“He needs all your prayers and goodwill to be able to succeed. So, to encourage the author for his good work, I will launch 20 copies of the book for one million naira.”

Adamu, a former senator, was the first civilian governor of Nasarawa state from 1999 to 2007.

The author, on his part, expressed that his inspiration for writing the book stemmed from Sule’s leadership approach and the developmental projects in the state.
