APC National Vice Chairman, Lukman RESIGNS

The National Vice Chairman of the All Progressives Congress for North-West, Mallam Salihu Lukman, has officially resigned from his position.

His resignation letter was submitted on Wednesday to the Acting National Chairman of the party, Senator Abubakar Kyari.

The development is coming one week after the former National Chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, and the National Secretary, Senator Iyiola Omisore, tendered their resignations.

In the copy of the letter made available to Punch correspondent, the Kaduna politician hinged his resignation on the alleged illegal acts and interference in the affairs of the party, which he claimed, was at variance with the vision of the founding fathers.

Lukman said that he opted to throw in the towel rather than remain in the party to continue his agitation and be seen as a distraction.
