Campaign Council: Adamu Denies Writing Tinubu, Alleges Plot To Create Crisis Within APC
By Kabir Akintayo
The All Progressive Congress (APC) has denied a letter attributed to its Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, accusing the Presidential candidate of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, of sidelining the National Working Committee (NWC) and excluding them from the Presidential Campaign Council (PCC).
According to a letter that went viral on Wednesday night, Adamu had allegedly complained about the composition of the PCC, reminding Tinubu on the agreement reached earlier with the party.
However, APC, in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Felix Morka, on Thursday, accused some mischief makers in the party of trying to create crisis between the party chairman and Tinubu.
The statement read in full:

“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.”
