The now resigned National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Sen Abdullahi Adamu, has admitted that he worked against the emergence of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the party’s presidential primaries.
Adamu, who spoke on Arise Television News Night on Tuesday, defended his action, saying that he had the right to support whomever he wanted.
The former APC National Chairman, who publicly announced his endorsement of the then Senate President, Ahmed Lawan,, which was widely interpreted as a direct challenge to Tinubu’s ambition, said: “I think that’s a soft selling point for you media people. It is true that at the time that I made a presentation to the National Working Committee, (NWC), the name of Sen Ahmed Lawan was thrown up.
“That was before the convention. So many things happened between then and the actual date for the convention and you saw what unanimously culminated in the convention. I was there and I led the convention of the party.
