Nigerians React To Claims Of Adamu’s Resignation Amidst Tinubu Tribunal Speculation

Social media has been buzzing with reactions following claims that Abdullahi Adamu’s recent resignation may be linked to a supposed tribunal decision regarding President Bola Tinubu’s election. A video circulating on Facebook alleges that Adamu stepped down as the chairperson of the APC due to information about the Presidential Election Petition Court annulling Tinubu’s victory.CONTINUE READING.

In the video, a speaker in Pidgin English suggests that Adamu’s resignation was an attempt to distance himself from alleged misconduct surrounding Tinubu’s election. Another video caption claims that the court has decided to remove Tinubu, leading to Adamu’s swift resignation.

However, it’s important to clarify that these claims are not accurate. As of now, the election tribunal is still actively hearing petitions, including those from Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar of the PDP. The tribunal is expected to deliver its written judgment in August, as stipulated by the law.

Reports indicate that Adamu’s resignation is likely related to internal issues within the APC, particularly his strained relationship with Tinubu. The crisis was exacerbated by Adamu’s refusal to acknowledge national assembly principal officers endorsed by the senate president and the speaker of the house of representatives, with Tinubu’s support.

It’s crucial to rely on verified information and avoid jumping to conclusions based on unverified claims circulating on social media platforms.
