This led Lukman to file a lawsuit last Thursday.

The situation worsened when the National Legal Adviser, Ahmad El-Marzuq, suggested expelling Lukman in a letter to Adamu.

On Wednesday, after a four-hour National Working Committee (NWC) meeting, Mustapha said that Lukman agreed to write an apology letter and withdraw the lawsuit.

Mustapha emphasized that party matters should be handled through proper channels, not in public.

While addressing newsmen after the meeting, he said, “We are able to reach a resolution that this suit is going to be withdrawn unconditionally and that he has rendered his or his apology for any seeming embarrassment that this suit may have caused.”
