Presidential Campaign Council: APC disowns Abdullahi Adamu’s ‘letter’ to Tinubu

All Progressives Congress (APC) on Thursday disowned a letter in circulation allegedly written by the Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu to the party’s presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on the composition of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

In the letter, Adamu levelled a sundry of allegations against Tinubu, specifically accusing the APC presidential candidate of breaching agreements over the composition of the PCC.

But, APC National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka in a statement said categorically that the letter did not emanate from the national chairman.

Morka said the letter was the handiwork of fifth columnists, noting that both Abdullahi and Tinubu maintain cordial relationship and effective communications channel.

The statement reads: “Our attention has been drawn to a ‘DRAFT’ letter in circulation purportedly written by His Excellency, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the National Chairman of our great Party, addressed to His Excellency, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the Presidential Candidate of our great Party, expressing dissatisfaction over the recently released list of the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).

“To be clear, the ‘DRAFT’ letter did not emanate from the Party. An UNSIGNED letter that marks itself as a ‘DRAFT’ cannot and should not be attributed to its purported author.

“The National Chairman of our Party and our presidential candidate maintain cordial and effective communication channels, and enjoy full liberty of open and frank conversations on matters of interest to the Party and our Presidential Campaign. As such, an unsigned ‘DRAFT’ letter of the kind in circulation is patently unnecessary and of no qualitative value to engagement between the Party and the PCC. 

“We will not be distracted by the wishes and actions of detractors that wait gleefully but in vain for some kind of crisis to erupt between the Party and the PCC. 

“We stand united, as a Party, in our resolve and commitment to execute a focused and issue-driven campaign to persuade Nigerians to renew our mandate in next year’s general election.
