This development is coming 72 hours after Adamu was officially sworn-in.
THEWILL reports that Adamu emerged chairman of the party during the just concluded national convention held on Saturday at the Eagles Square in Abuja.
Buni, who has been at the helm of the party’s affair for about twenty-one months, handed over to Adamu during a brief ceremony, held at the National Secretariat of the party in Abuja.
The event was witnessed by all the newly elected executive members and Nasarawa Governor, Abdullahi Sule.
Meanwhile, the inaugural meeting of the 25 NWC members is being held at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja as of the time of filing this report.
Details of the meeting are still sketchy, but officials say that stabilising the party after a ‘feverish’ National Convention, 2023 elections and the processes for selection of the party’s presidential candidate are top on the NWC’s agenda.
The APC, on Saturday, conducted its Convention leading to the election of the new party chairman Senator Adamu and a host of other national officers.
An amended Constitution was also adopted, wherein the NWC re-designated and its membership restricted to 25.
