National Legal Adviser of All Progressives Congress (APC), Ahmed El-Marzuq, has resigned from his position in the ruling party’s National Working Committee.
Gatekeepers News reports that El-Marzuq attributed his resignation to the emergence of ex-governor of Kano State, Abdullahi Ganduje; and former Senate spokesman, Ajibola Basiru; as APC National Chairman and National Secretary respectively.
In a statement by his Special Adviser, AbdulHalim Adamu, partly read, “In light of the recent developments within our great party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), with the emergence of His Excellency Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Senator Ajibola Basiru as National Chairman and National Secretary and the reconfiguration of party offices for national cohesion and adequate regional representation, the National Legal Adviser found it pertinent that he resigns his position within the party to allow for a smooth reconfiguration of the party’s leadership.”
El-Marzuq thanked President Bola Tinubu and other party officials for the “opportunity” to serve.
On Thursday, Ganduje and Basiru emerged as NWC members of the party at the 12th National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the APC in Abuja.
