Omisore has not resigned as APC National Secretary, says his lawyer

Kayode Ajulo, solicitor to Sen. Iyola Omisore, says the National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has not resigned from his office.

Ajulo said this while speaking with the Newsmen in Abuja on Monday.

He said Omisore was unlikely for both the party's National Chairman, Sen Abdullahi Adamu, and Omisore to vacate their offices at the same time.

He, therefore, described the rumoured resignation of Omisore as baseless and unfounded.

He said the former Osun senator would attend the meeting of the National Working Committee (NWC) scheduled for today.

He said if Omisore resigned, that would be a personal decision, adding that he has not been forced to resign, as has been insinuated in some quarters.

“Why must he resign? He is the National Secretary of the winning party that has just ushered in the new government of President Bola Tinubu.

“He he is proud of what the president is doing and the party enjoys the confidence of the president vice versa.

“What he is doing now is stabilising the political space and ensuring that those who worked for the emergence of President Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian people are happy with the government,” Ajulo said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that there were also rumours on July 16 over the alleged resignation of the National Assembly.

NAN reports that Omisore was also rumoured to have written his resignation letter ahead of the National Caucus and National Executive Committee meetings of the party scheduled for July 17.
