A former legal adviser of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Muiz Banire (SAN) says that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu would not gain anything from removing the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, for not supporting him during the general elections.
Muiz, who was a former commissioner of Lagos state when President Tinubu was the state governor, made the comment while speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
The politician maintained that Tinubu did not have anything to gain by removing the party’s Chairman even if he did not support him to become the President at the initial stage of his presidential bid.
He added that the disgruntled members of the APC’s NWC are most likely responsible for Adamu’s resignation instead.
The party’s former legal adviser said Adamu and the national secretary, Iyiola Omisore’s resignation might have been forced rather than voluntary at it was made to look.
Banire described their resignations as an unusual situation that must have been birthed by certain circumstances which are not apparent to people now.
“I’m not too sure that the resignation could have been voluntary, in my view, I might be wrong; I probably believe that maybe the pressure of other colleagues of theirs forced them eventually to tender their resignation,” Banire said.
“So, it’s not unlikely that it is as a result of such issues that have been in the public space for some time now; maybe it has reached its peak now and couldn’t be absorbed again. They probably reacted.
