Adamu, other NWC members sworn-in.
Members of the NWC took their oath of office with President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and leaders and members of the party in attendance.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that the recently elected members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are being sworn in in Abuja.

Led by Senator Abdullahi Adamu, members of the NWC took their oath of office with President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and leaders and members of the party in attendance.

The Chairman of the Convention Election Committee, Governor Badaru Abubakar said of the 36 offices in the NWC only five were contested while the rest were through consensus.

Meanwhile, Dada Olusgun Dada, an aspirant for the office of national youth leader of the All Progressives Congress has withdrawn from the race.

Olusegun who announced his withdrawal in the early hours of Sunday at the party’s 2022 National Convention held at Eagle Square, Abuja, fought back tears.

He is one of several aspirants who backed out of various party positions with respect to the consensus arrangement of the party as captured in the unity list released late Saturday.
Olusegun withdrew in favour of the consensus candidate 36-year-old Abdullahi Israel from the Lagos state chapter.

In a related development, former youth representative in the Buni-led Caretaker Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee, Ismaeel Ahmed, has withdrawn from the race for the office of National Organising Secretary in favour of the consensus candidate, Suleiman Argungu (Kebbi State).
