It was learnt that President Muhammadu Buhari had asked the governors to meet with Abdullahi Adamu and settle issues around zoning and consensus of the party’s presidential ticket.

“We don’t know where he disappeared to and the governors and other important people are saying they have to see him urgently,” a senior party official said.

“It is hard to believe that the chairman could just leave his office and switch off his phones like that.”

The Kebbi Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, who led other governors, was compelled to meet only with other members of the National Working Committee (NWC) at the party’s headquarters.

The meeting was presided over by Abubakar Kyari, deputy national chairman north at the NEC Hall of the party’s national secretariat.

Meanwhile, some members of the ruling APC have demanded the resignation of Senator Abdullahi Adamu as the national chairman.
