Another Saraki loyalist Abdulahi APC spokesman resigns, dumps party
The National publicity secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) Bolaji Abdulahi has resigned, and dumped the party.
Abdulahi, a close associate of the Senate President Bukola Saraki made this known on Wednesday via a statement he released on his official twitter handle.
He said, “In view of recent political developments in the country and within the All Progressives Congress (APC), I have decided to resign my position as the National Publicity Secretary as well as my membership of the party with effect from today”.
Soon after Saraki announced on Tuesday that he had left the APC for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) there were reports that Abdulahi had done same.
But he said on Tuesday that contrary to reports, he has not resigned his membership of the party, and that the reports of his resignation were untrue.
Reacting to Saraki’s defection, Abdullahi had said he was not considering leaving the party, stressing that “I came through the front door and will not go through the back door.”
However, in his statement on Wednesday, the former minister of Sports, lamented, that “In the last few days, I have had to endure the flagrant usurpation of my role as the spokesman of the party in a manner that I consider unbefitting of a ruling party and inconsistent with my ethical standards”.
