The State Working Committee (SWC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adamawa State, has explained that the former state chairman of the party, Alhaji Ibrahim Bilal resigned from his position on personal grounds.
The State Publicity Secretary, Hon. Mohammed Abdullahi, disclosed this while addressing a press conference on Friday in Abuja.
He said despite his resignation, Bilal remained a loyal, dedicated, and committed stakeholder of the party and would take up a national assignment that was in the best interest of the party and the state.
Recall that Bilal had resigned his position in a letter dated September 13 and addressed to the National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdulahi Adamu, through the office of National Vice Chairman North-East.
The letter read: “I write to inform you that I am resigning from my elected position as the Adamawa State Chairman of our Great Party (APC) immediately.
“While the constitution of APC requires me to occupy the office until 2026, I will be grateful if I could cease from becoming the State Chairman immediately.
“I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this sudden news may cause. Grateful, for the fantastic opportunities you have offered me to serve this great party in Adamawa State. I wish to thank you personally for your graciousness and leadership.”
Abdulahi noted that the SWC appreciated the roles played by the former Chairman and all the stakeholders in building and promoting the party in the state.
Abdulahi stated: “Following the events of 5th September 2022 in respect of the party leadership and the various meetings and consultations that followed at the Zonal and National levels of the party, the SWC met and deliberated on the explanations offered by the State Chairman Alh. Ibrahim Bilal.
“The SWC has substantially accepted his explanation which is hinged on expediency of time and the need to meet datelines.”
He stressed that the party would continue to treat him as a major party stakeholder and nominate him for party assignments when the need arises.
