The National Working Committee (NWC) of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) has postponed the National Caucus and National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting indefinitely.
This followed the resignation of Senator Abdullahi Adamu, as the party’s national chairman.
The meetings were supposed to hold on July 10 and 11, but were earlier postponed for Tueday and Wednesday.
Addressing newsmen at the end of the emergency meeting of the NWC, the APC acting national chairman, Senator Abubakar Kyari, said the meeting had been moved.
He also confirmed the resignation of the party’s national secretary, Iyiola Omisore.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that Omisore was shut out of the emergency NWC meeting of the ruling party on Monday.
Omisore who was among the early callers at the meeting left the party secretariat without speaking with the media.
SaharaReporters had learnt that the Deputy National Chairman (North) of the party, Senator Kyari took over the party NWC following the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu as the chairman.
Adamu was absent at the NWC meeting.

SaharaReporters earlier reported that Adamu tendered his resignation on Sunday.
Adamu, who was elected as the national chairman of the ruling party at its national convention held in March 2022, sent his resignation letter to President Bola Tinubu while he was away at the African Union (AU) meeting in Kenya.
Adamu's resignation letter was reportedly received by the Chief of Staff of the President, Femi Gbajabiamila.
"We saw it coming, he acted in time to avoid being humiliated out of office. The truth is that trouble has been brewing; it’s been clear that he won't survive," a source in the party’s NWC had told SaharaReporters on Monday morning.
When contacted, Adamu did not confirm or deny the story. After listening to our reporter, Adamu dropped the call without saying a word.
