Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the new Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress ( APC) and a former Governor of Nasarawa state, has told Governor Nasir El-Rufa’i of Kaduna State and the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi that he does not know how they were thinking about the security situation in Nigeria but it was wrong for one to take a knife and rip open his stomach.
Adamu spoke in an interview with the Hausa Service of the British Broadcasting Corporation ( BBC), monitored by Vanguard in Kaduna.
Asked why he never took offence if people called him a wizard, he said he was not eating humans and such name-calling only amused him but he never felt angry.

The National Chairman of the APC, however, said they would work assiduously and round the clock to ensure victory for the ruling party come 2023.
According to him,” this job is not a child’s play or joke. It’s a great burden that’s bestowed on us. Our prayer to Allah, and from all our good friends and well-wishers, is to wish us success.
First of all, we should find ways of uniting members of our party. We should be united, like a broom tied with one rope. Once that is done, our next move should be to confront the forthcoming election. We are the government, nothing will earn us praise unless we win the election. “
“We should win, win again, this is the task ahead of us. By the will of Allah, we will do what we can to be successful.”
On how they will pacify those who were aggrieved by the outcome of the recently concluded convention of the APC, the APC Chairman said ” first and foremost it should be known that Allah gives leadership and not man.”
